Topic	Who bears the moral responsibility for the lives lost during the atomic bombing?
AdrianBeterson 11/14/23 12:26:29 PM #37:	TyVulpine posted... Over 100,000 American and Japanese soldiers died in the Battle of Okinawa alone, and took three months to win the battle. An invasion of mainland Japan would have cost several times that many lives on both sides and dragged the war on even longer. The Japanese didnt surrender because of the nukes. They surrendered because they couldnt broker an agreement with the soviets to prevent their invasion. The nukes just happened to be dropped around the time the talks with the soviets fell through, but the USA (or the number of Japanese casualties) were not the reasons they surrendered. --- https://imgur.com/EvtcK3P <cite>AdrianBeterson posted [p:977210782] in Who bears ...
