It was and is an awful weapon, but the counter argument is that the number of casualties from invading and conquering Japan,both civilian and military would have dwarfed those tragic deaths. Also that the bomb would have been invented sooner or later. Better to be by a democracy. Interesting what if question. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that the bomb would have been invented sooner or later. Better to be by a democracy. Interesting what if question. The Japanese at the time when the bombs were dropped were already pretty much a defeated enemy, the only reason those bombs were dropped was to force Japan to surrender and end the war sooner. 210,000 people died at the the time and many thousands more in the years that followed. In the whole of the war against Japan the Americans lost 111,600 men and women. Those costs more lives in that campaign than if the war was to carry on for another 6 months to a year, the Japanese were on their knees as an effective fighting force, with no Navy or Air Force left and a beleaguered army, but the Japanese culture forbid them to surrender even though the Americans tried to persuade them many times. In the end the decision was made to drop the bombs to try and end the war sooner and force the Japanese to surrender, but not as a weapon to save more lives than were taken. So you are wrong to suggest that the amount of casualties if the war carried on would have dwarfed those figures caused by the bombs.

London Blue Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 But the question that historians have asked is twofold. First would thecallues of yried to contain Japan instead of inade. The answer is no as the allies had said only unconditional surrender of Japan was acceptable. Second would Japan defend an invasion of their home islands. All the evidence from Japanese military and government documents and policies of the time was yes they would. So an invasion would have cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives, civilian and military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoleon was sent to an island in the middle on nowhere yet he lived to 87…. He was a god to them not a mortal, it's hard for us to contemplate the society and belief system they had right up till the nineteen forties, it was still quite feudal and never to surrender and to die fighting for the Emperor was an honour. They treated prisoners of war with contempt and felt they were no better than dogs and not men, because you don't surrender you fight till the death. There were still Japanese soldiers fighting on until the mid seventies refusing to surrender. 10 hours ago, London Blue said: So an invasion would have cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives, civilian and military. 100% not the Americans estimated they could end the war 6 months to a year sooner if they dropped the bombs, before they dropped the bombs they were suffering very small losses, but were fighting very time consuming battles from island to island, because the Japanese would not surrender, it was starting to become a war of financial pressure on America and they wanted it stopped as soon as possible, que the bombs. And are not 210,000 thousand manly women and children not more than you are talking about. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
