Atomic Bomb

The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because they caused immeasurable problems for the environment, Japan was losing the war, so there was no need, and it killed an estimated 200,000 innocent people, including those that were affected by radiation.


For six months Japan and the United States fought with intense fire-bombing on 67 Japanese cities. The U.S. called for a surrender of Japan or they would drop the bombs. Japan ignored the warning from the U.S. so the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs destroyed many homes, caused many innocent people to die, and the environment was filled with radiation so it was not useful.
