Do you think Truman was justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Explain your answer

Answered by admin @



At base, there is an ethical justification for the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima as the United States was ready to mount a full scale invasion of Japan from China.

However, the Japanese were not given adequate time to surrender and so the dropping of the bomb on Nagasaki was inexcusable.
