“The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary”
To state whether the bombings were necessary or not was hard to decide. Looking at it from the view of the Americans it was the right thing to do as it saved lives, one them the war and showed the world what they could do. The U.S was trying to get back for the Pearl Harbor attacks and had warned the Japanese and given them a chance to surrender. On the other hand, Japan lost so much and so quickly. The two cities were blown to pieces leaving a hole in Japan as country itself.
So in my view I see that the bombings were necessary. Without knowing what really happened anyone would disagree but once you read into things and learn a bit more the pieces of the puzzle are put together and I was able to understand why the U.S did what they did.
