Justification of the Atomic Bomb

On August 6th, 1945 the United States dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima. This military strategy was extremely controversial in the United States. The question I wish to answer is, “Was the United States justified in the dropping of the atomic bomb?” The answer to this question is yes. I believe they were for many reasons. The main reason was that this bomb would ultimately end the war. Why did the war need to be stopped …showed first 75 words of 1577 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1577 total…the dropping of the bomb to prevent millions of American soldiers’ deaths. If all things are measured, it is clear that Truman made the right decision. The amount of American lives that Truman saved is immense. I believe the atomic bomb proved to be an extremely important weapon for the United States as it ended such a horrific war. However, I still think that the decision to drop the atomic bomb will always remain controversial.
