The general opinion is that it originated in Japan although some people argue it started in China then Japan.
Some people think it was, others argue that it was not.
That's the easiest question ever... Of course the Atomic bombs were dropped, ending the war with Japan. But some argue the second bomb wasn't needed. America didn't give Japan a chance to surrender after the first bomb, because the second was dropped within days of the first.
Historians have offered varied interpretations of President Truman's decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Some argue it was a necessary action to swiftly end World War II and save lives by avoiding a costly invasion of Japan. Others criticize it as an unnecessary display of power that caused immense civilian suffering and set a troubling precedent for nuclear warfare. Overall, the decision remains a contentious topic, reflecting broader debates about military ethics and the nature of wartime leadership.

According to J. Samuel Walker, the consensus among scholars is that the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan was not necessary to secure a swift end to World War II. Many historians argue that Japan was already on the verge of surrender and that other factors, such as the Soviet Union's entry into the war against Japan, would have led to Japan's capitulation without the use of atomic weapons. Walker emphasizes the ongoing debate about the moral implications and strategic decisions surrounding the bombings. Overall, there is a growing recognition that the bomb's use was more about demonstrating power than achieving military necessity.

Questions like these come down to personal opinion. One might argue that it was a need, where one might argue it was a greed. There is no "correct" answer.
It is certainly possible to argue that the use of atomic bombs against Japan killed indiscriminately, that it was cruel, that it caused hundreds of thousands of cases of cancer well after the war was over, and that it sets a dangerous precedent for the use of nuclear weapons in the future. However, I also know of excellent arguments in support of the atomic bombing of Japan. I am not going to mention all of them, but remember before you condemn America, that Japan was at war with America by its own choice. America did not even want to get involved in WW II, but was left no choice after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. You reap what you sow.
There are two interpretations of your question: 1. Why does my boyfriend argue with me first and then argue with the people who cause us problems? 2. Why does my boyfriend argue with me rather than with the people who cause us problems? Which is it?
