One of the most controversial turning points in history was the decision made by U.S president Harry S. Thurman to use atomic weapons on japan the lone remaining Axis power at the conclusion of world war 11 in your opinion was the decision to drop atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a military necessity? If not was It justifiable for a reason other than military necessity ?
Dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not a military necessity because from other reports, the Japanese were about to surrender anyway. It was justifiable because we were scared and we acted because we were threatened.
yes this was necessary because the Japanese had showed they would not surrender even if it meant full lose of military soldiers. Other justifiable reasons would be that the U.S. had already lost many lives to the war and it would not a good move to keep sending soldiers in to lose their lives when they could just drop the atomic bomb.
