∙ 11y agowell ........it was because of the boming of pearl harbor.
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 was the fact that got the US involved in that war. The atomic bombs ended that war.
The main event was Japan attacking Pearl Harbor without the proper war announcer.

∙ 14y agoAt the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

However, the thinking that led to the actual deployment was that the Japanese were fighting so ferociously, that every advance of the Americans in the Pacific was at colossal cost of men and equipment. A weapon so terrible should bring about a surrender - it did
