Many American war veterans from World War II would say that the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to save millions of American servicemen who would otherwise have to invade the Japanese Homeland. The stated intent prior to Victory in Europe was to develop an atomic bomb before the Germans did so. Once the Germans were defeated the stated purpose changed. Some believe that the real reason for dropping the bombs was to punish Japan for the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941.

∙ 14y agoThe USA chose to drop the atom bombs on Japan to force them to surrender. The Japanese Military Leaders did not want to surrender. Once Emperor Hirohito saw the devastation and the injured people he realized he must surrender. So he taped a surrender message and had it locked up until it could be played for the country and the world to hear. The Military Leaders tried to stop him. He did get the message out and the surrender happened.
