- The 2 dropped by the US on Japan in WW2 saved roughly an order of magnitude of lives, compared with the estimates given for the existing invasion plan. They also shortened the war by at least a year and avoided the USSR invasion, which would certainly have resulted in a divided North Japan and South Japan issue.
- If it had not been used, then after the war congress would almost certainly have held hearings to "rake Truman over the coals" as to why $2,000,000,000 was spent on a new wonder weapon that had been tested and working prior to invasion, yet never used.
If the Japanese had not surrendered, by the end of 1945 production schedules indicate we could have destroyed 23 cities, by which point the number of lives lost would exceed that of invasion. Also the planned invasion would have been initiated and the troops would be fighting on a full "hot" nuclear battlefield without the special gear needed (because not yet developed and/or no yet ready for field use).

If World War 2 ended and you lost the war would Harry Truman be tried as a war criminal?
yes especially since he had dropped the Abomb on japan. but then the allies wouldve won, right? He's not a criminal. The atomic bomb is a weapon, and it saved many American lives. There was no reason that it should not have been used. They might have tried him if we lost, but he didn't do anything wrong in my opinion.
