A-Bomb Yes?

The relevance of the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that it

ended World War II, which is the main goal of the any war so yes, it was necessary. The two bombs dropped mightconvince the Japanese any further resistance was futile, which worked. After the bombings, there were rumors of Japanese ready to surrender the next few day which claimed to make the two bombings “unnecessary”.

The generally accepted view that the Japanese would fight to the very end

put that rumor at a very small percentage. The Japanese also wanted their current emperor to

remain on throne and they were afraid that the surrendering terms would cause the Japanese to

choose a new Emperor.

The atomic bomb lead America to the atomic age, causing it to build many thousands of

nuclear bombs. Having the many nuclear bombs was a great defense, not for shooting, but to generally let countries know that “hey we have more nuclear weapons than you all combined” so

that they would think twice, even three times before attacking America. The dropping of the first atomic bomb proved that by ending the war. The second dropping of the bomb was just as important to causing the Japanese to surrender as much as the first. Just two days after Hiroshima, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Dropping the second bomb on Nagasaki would make the surrender of Japan inevitable.

What would have happened had the A-bomb not been used? Of course, thewar would have continued. US forces; therefore, would have had to invade the home island of Japan. Doing so, would end in many casualties.
