How did president Truman justify using the atomic bomb in WW2 Why were the scientist against using the bomb Why didn't the president bomb Tokyo?
President Truman justified using the atomic bomb in World War II by claiming it would lead to a quicker end to the war and save countless lives, both American and Japanese, by avoiding a costly invasion of Japan. Many scientists, including some involved in the Manhattan Project, opposed its use due to ethical concerns and the potential for unprecedented destruction and civilian casualties. Truman did not bomb Tokyo because it had already suffered extensive damage from previous bombings, and targeting cities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki was intended to demonstrate the bomb's devastating power while minimizing further destruction in major urban centers.

Was the atomic bomb neccessary?
At 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.
