Atom bomb America

Answer 1

The three atom bombs America developed in the Manhattan Project were developed in time to bomb Japan. They were initially built to bomb the Nazis. The European Theater of the war ended prior to the final development of the bombs. When President Roosevelt died President Truman was told about the bombs. He had to make the hard choice about using them. He had to weigh whether to kill hundreds of thousand Japanese (and possibly POWS) or invade Japan and risk having the war last another year with millions of casualties. The casualties would have been civilian and military. In the end, he considered he had no choice but to drop the bombs to motivate the military leaders to surrender. They still did not want to surrender. Emperor Hirohito made the decision to surrender. Japan would have been invaded by the Russians and the other allies on both sides of the mainland island.
