Also, Japan didn't quit when the U.S dropped the first bomb but after the second one they finally gave up. It would have cost 1.7 million American soldiers life’s if we didn’t drop it.

Because Japan probably would have not surrendered for many more years, prolonging the war. And more people probably would have died if we had not dropped the bomb.

The atomic bomb should of been dropped because if the U.S didn't then the war would still go on and more lives would still be at risk. Also, Japan didn't quit when the U.S dropped the first bomb but after the second one they finally gave up.

The atomic bomb should of been dropped because Japan wasn’t quitting or giving up so if the Us didn’t drop it then it could of meant millions of American soldiers dead while fighting

More people would have died if we didn’t drop the bomb and the war would have also lasted for longer than it did.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if it wasn’t dropped then the war would have continued, and it saved more lives than it had killed.

Saying the war would not have ended if America dropped the bomb is a way to try to hide the fact that America killed millions of innocent lives. The bomb did not hurt Japan’s army but its innocent civilians. These innocent civilians did not fight in the war. Many of the sources say Japan was defenseless with a weak army so I believe that America, that had such powerful allies such as Britian, France and Russia, could have ended the war in a different way. It is sort of odd we had to kill many innocent people who have never fought a day in their life to “end the war”.

i support it because the war would have kept going on for even longer.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the war would have continue for more years. The Japs didn't even surrender after the first bomb which is asking for another bomb because they were't stopping until everyone was wiped out.

“Japan wouldn’t end the war until everyone was dead” (Source K) so when America bombed Japan they ended the war first before Japan could kill a lot more Americans.

the bomb saved American lives and ended the war

Because “only a total victory can reward the campions of tolerance and decency and freedom and faith” it also made it easy to defeat japan because “japan has no allies”

I agree with the United States dropping the atomic bomb on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the atomic bomb was dropped who known how long the war would have been, or when it would have ended. Colonel Paul Tibbets, the pilot who dropped the bomb stated, "It would have been morally wrong if we had that weapon and not used it and let a million more people die" (Source A). This is true because the war would have caused millions of deaths on both sides, leaving both of our worlds totally different today. Also, if the United Sates saw another acceptable alternative, they probably would have used it, but there wasn't one. A report of the scientific panel to the interim committee states, "We can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use" (Source D). This shows how they would have used an alternative, but there wasn't one. They had to protect themselves and I believe they mad they right decision in what they had to do.

An American invasion of Japan would cost 1.7 to 4 million American casualties (G)
The Japanese will continue the war until every man- perhaps every woman and child- lies face downward on the battlefield (K)

I support it because it brought an end to the war (source D) , the Japenese would not have stopped (source K) , and no other comprimise would have ended the war . (source F)

Yes, the United States should have dropped the entire bomb on Hiroshima, based on the common principle that the ends justify the means. If the bomb had not been dropped, there would be no way of knowing how or when the World War II would end. Not only that, but it is quite possible that if the U.S. had not come to this decision, the total casualties as a result of the war continuing could have outweighed the lives lost due to the atomic bomb. As Source A states, we "saved more lives than we took."

It would have cost 1.7 million American soldiers life’s if we didn’t drop it (source G). Also Japan wouldn’t have stop fighting until their last soldier (source K).

If the US invaded japan, it would cost around 2 million American deaths and over 5 million Japanese deaths.-source g
