The previous response was opinion based, and also very uninformative since the bomb DID have major consequences and of course some advantages.
Consequences:-Long term effects of radiation from the bombs still continue to kill thousands.-Many innocent civilians wore the punishment of their rulers who decided not to surrender until after the bombs were dropped. The innocent civilians who died had no influence on the decision of their rulers.-It brought fear, fear of nuclear war.-Power usually causes corruption, and in this case - a whole lot of power was created (having the weapon = power, and now many countries have it).
I'm sure there are plenty of more consequences... but that's all I can think of right now.
Advantages:-It saved the lives of American soldiers (at the cost of innocent civilian lives, since most of the bombed cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, consisted of civilians).
- according to American military estimates, the bomb would have only saved fewer than 50,000 American lives; President Truman claimed 500,000 American lives would have been saved.
-It ended the war quickly.
Obviously, the consequences outweigh the advantages.
I hope this helps! I'd add more if I had more time...
Note: I tried to present the facts rather than give a biased opinion, but I'm sure you can tell which side I'm on.
