The nuclear bombs had long lasting effects on the Japanese people. Many who survived the initial blast later died from radiation sickness and even today, babies are born disabled as a result. Therefore, the bombings cannot be justified because it has continued to affect innocent civilians who weren't responsible for Japan's activity in the war.

FURTHERMORE THE JAPANESE REFUSED TO SURRENDER TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND BECAUSE OF THIS THE JAPANESE GOT ABSOLUTELY MERKED

Japan were asked to surrender before and after the first bomb

Japenese people thaught that death was preferable to surrender.
This meant that they believed surrender was a disgrace so terrible that they could never give in.

There was no need to drop bombs on these towns, they could of dropped them on uninhabited or militarily bases. They could of tried to convince Japan to quit without killing anyone.

Against, the second bomb cannot be justified as the US didn't have enough time to support the first bombing before they attacked Nagasaki. Two bombs had been made, a plutonium bomb and a uranium bomb. The US must have had a plan to drop a second bomb. Also, the US wanted to conduct a test on clean targets even though it is morally wrong (Geneva Convention) and the two cities did not have any military value. 250,000 people lost their lives due to the test.

Bombing Japan should not be justified for ending the second world war as Japan was already on the verge of surrender. Due to 60 of its cities already been bombed, it was only a matter of time before Japan lost the war anyway, so the bombings were unnecessary and the justification of it ending the war is just an excuse.

Here is an argument for why Hiroshima was acceptable and good!!!!

WITHOUT A DOUBT HIROSHIMA WAS GOOD!!!!!!!

100,000 Japanese people dying is better then 1,000,000 AMERICANS dying!! OPEN YOUR EYES FAM!!

US estimated 500,000 American militant deaths, apparently their lives were more important

There was no need to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were not occupied by the military and had more civilians inhabiting them than soldiers. Therefore, the bombs cost the lives of thousands of innocent people.

Japan got US involved at the start of WW2 by attacking pearl harbour. This in a way justifies the bombings because Japan started it and US ended it.

It is clear to see that Truman was faced with a difficult decision but the decision to bomb Japan was right as it did end WW2 and prevent more soldier dying.
