The question presupposes that it should not have been used. I don't agree.
This technology was going to get out sooner or later. If not used in WW2, it would have been used some other time. Until it was used once, the fear of it wouldn't be there. It's the fear of what we all saw in WW2 that has prevented it from being used again since.
The use in WW2 saved lives. That's not debateable. When you look at the ferocity of opposition the Japanese were putting up against every advance the US made, the invasion of the Japanese homeland would have been a bloody slog with FAR more projected deaths on BOTH SIDES than the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Now, you could argue the use of a SECOND bomb at Nagasaki was unnecessary. That is a fair debate. But dropping AN atomic bomb if it hadn't happened in WW2 would have inevitably happened sooner or later. Whether the US did it or someone else did it.
Currently the most devastating and destructive weapon that can possibly be created by man. It can destroy countless things that have been painstakingly build by us. It produces horrid amounts of radiation that takes many decades, if not centuries to go away. It basically shreds buildings when it explodes; it makes the ground flat while doing so.
Humanitarian reasons were basically the opposition to dropping the bombs.
It can cause massive, unintentional, catastrophic damage to the biotic and abiotic environment.
Mostly because of the civilians victims. Almost all Japan's soldiers were dead at the time of the atomic bombs and most of the casualties were civilians.
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.
The atomic bombs were delivered by the USS Indianoppolis
He ordered the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is how he showed the atomic bombs.
Because they pissed us off at Pearl Harbor so we returned the favor
After the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, he only had days to make his mind. This was one of the reasons for the atomic bombs in ww2.
'frop is that which is in j.r. "bob" dobbs' pipe
Because he was upset they did not share their ice-cream!
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.

Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
Total war means atomic bombs.
During WWII the atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.
To end the war and to collapse Japan's means to make war.

Uranium which is a fuel is used in atomic bombs and in nuclear power stations.
