four million people would have did if we did not use the atomic bomb
Was using the Atomic Bomb a good idea? Yes, it was. It ended the war and actually saved many lives. If we didn't use the bomb on the Japanese they could have killed many of our soldiers or destroyed our cities. A few good reasons to use the bomb was because it ended the war, saved many lives, and to get back for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Using the atomic bomb in WWII was a good way the end the war. If the war didn't end, many more soldiers could have died. The number of people that died from the bomb is only a small fraction of the people that would have died if the war kept going on. According to Marston 13, around 200,000 people died and many more were injured. If the war kept going, millions of people could have died. One other reason for using the bomb was to get back for the attack on Pearl Harbor. From that attack, about 1,500 people died, and almost 200 U.S. planes were destroyed. Using the atomic bomb on them was a great way to get back at them by killing more than one hundred times as many people.
If you are referring to WW2, then the US stopped using atomic bombs on Japan because Japan agreed to surrender. Had they not, the US had plans and production setup to drop a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
President Harry S. Truman justified the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki primarily by arguing that it would hasten the end of World War II and save countless lives. He believed that a conventional invasion of Japan would result in massive casualties for both American forces and Japanese civilians. Truman also emphasized the importance of demonstrating American military power, particularly to the Soviet Union, in the post-war context. Ultimately, he framed the decision as a necessary measure to achieve a swift and definitive victory.
President Truman faced the significant advantage of potentially shortening World War II and preventing further American casualties by using atomic bombs on Japan, which led to Japan's swift surrender. However, a major disadvantage was the ethical implications and the long-term consequences of nuclear warfare, including immense civilian casualties and the start of a nuclear arms race, fundamentally altering international relations and warfare.
Yes, considering the Japanese Military Leaders would have fought until Japan no longer existed because to surrender was dishonorable and taboo and forbidden. Once the atomic bombs were dropped Emperor Hirohito realized he had to end the war to protect the throne and empire. The military leaders tried to stop him from surrendering. Had Hirohito not surrendered millions of Japanese, Russians, Americans and other allied forces would have died and the war would have gone on for at lease one more year. All the soldiers, Marines and Red Army soldiers are extremely grateful to the men who dropped the atomic bombs because they considered the bombs saved their lives (since they did not have to invade Japan). Some of the scientists who created the atomic bombs (and are still alive) are still receiving thanks for
To end the war ASAP!
To save the lives of American GI's who were slated to invade Japan.
Using the atomic bomb would ultimately save more American lives by making a full-scale land invasion unnecessary.
To end the war sooner, saving Americans lives. -Apex
In theory, everyone wearing a hard-hat is likely to have had their life saved.
Answer One reason for using the atomic bomb was to shorten the war and save the lives of American and also Japanese soldiers who would die in the invasion. How do you put a price tag on lives???????????
Although using such a devastating weapon is always questioned, I believe the U.S. was justified to use the Atomic Bomb. Even the Japanese citizens were told to fight. By dropping the Atomic bomb, there was potentially less death, since no U.S. soldiers were harmed. The citizens would not have surrendered. Japan was not going to surrender, and so the Atomic bomb saved thousands of American lives, and shortened that terrible war
Invading it the conventional way would have cost many American lives, and the US decided it was better to just kill of a load of Japanese people instead.
Saving the lives of the soldiers (mostly marines) needed to invade Japan.

To save US soldiers lives and to bring a quicker end to the war
Of course they are. Vaccines have saved millions of lives! As long as you are in a sterile environment and using clean needles, vaccines are a VERY good choice.
