Concerns about the atomic bomb included its devastating destructive power and the potential for mass civilian casualties. The ethical implications of using such a weapon raised moral questions about targeting cities and non-combatants. Additionally, there were fears regarding nuclear proliferation, as the technology could spread to other nations and non-state actors, increasing the risk of nuclear conflict. Long-term health effects from radiation exposure and environmental damage also contributed to the apprehension surrounding atomic weaponry.

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.
