Without the atomic bomb, a land invasion of Japan would likely have resulted in a prolonged conflict with significantly higher casualties on both sides. Estimates suggest that an invasion could have led to hundreds of thousands of American lives lost, as well as millions of Japanese civilian and military casualties. The fierce resistance from Japanese forces would have drawn out the war, potentially delaying Japan's surrender and altering the post-war geopolitical landscape. Additionally, the devastation of Japan's infrastructure and society would have been far greater without the swift conclusion provided by the bombings.
