The exact cause of the bombings remains controversial. Some believe it was in response to the Republic of Ireland giving aid to Northern Ireland after the "Belfast Blitz" against the United Kingdom. Others believe that it was the result of an error in navigation, and that the intended target had been in the north. The allies carried out accidental air attacks against neutral Switzerland as the result of similar navigational errors.

The massive loss of life in Japan that ultimately contributed to the end of World War II was primarily due to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The bombings resulted in the immediate deaths of tens of thousands of people and caused long-term suffering due to radiation exposure.
