| Topic | A-bombs contributed nothing to ending WW2 and were known to be unnecessary |

Without a show of force for demoralization, maintaining control of Japan would have likely have been difficult. It really wasn't. That "militaristic nation" identity was propagandist material used to garner public support. This is after the US made and implemented Japanese interment camps, no less. The first bomb was more than enough to completely shut down Japan which was already preparing to surrender. The first one got Japan to hasten all of their proceedings. But America then dropped a second one to obtain an unconditional surrender. Basically, if they hadn't got that unconditional surrender, they'd have no doubt continued dropping nuclear warheads. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard! |
