Hiroshima!

If america agreed to talk to Japanese gervarnment and agreed japanese conditional surender, no need for A-bombing and mainland invasion. top american army general hoped to do japanese mainland invasion for his personal glory.

The United States did think about their soldiers lives, that's why they used a strategy of strategic bombing/nuclear bombs. It saved many American lives. The Japanese government failed to surrender and in doing so wasted Japanese lives.

Japan wanted peace in the ww2. we were not mad groupe. Japan understand that there are no victry situations. but japanese militaly educated and promoted war victry to the japanese people. but Japanese garvernment seeking peace with better condition. ofcouse american garvaenment knew this. they were not nuts. but they also teach and promte american people about revenge of Peal Harbor and total devasteat of Japan. some of heads of two nations did not think about there people life including soldier

well japan was war against china since 1930 and america wnated japan to give up what she get by the war. japan has no resoce. there ame may super powers in the world that era. America has fortless and naval base in Hawaii and Fillipines. British in Singapore and Indea. Soviet Russian Army was Japanese prime enemy. America and Britain support China with weopons, aviateres. Note this, China in such days was not like recent developed China. Buy the way Russia give up cold war without fighting. good

Yoshinor1999,

Let me get this straight...

Japan starts a war and you are upset that the country that they attacked fought back until Japan surrendered?

You act as if we kept bombing Japan after they surrendered...

It's very simple, if you don't want people to die, don't start a war. Japan started a war, people died.

Nah. He was probably thinking of the innocent kids killed at Pearl Harbor and all the kids whose fathers were lost to a war of aggression started by the Japanese.

Exactly. Moreover, a lot of these dipshit airheads here seem to think that we had smartbomb technology back in the 40's. Fact is that this was the most expedient manner in which to end the war of aggression which the Japanese forced us into. As such I have no pity for what happened to them. The Japos decided to put their military production facilities in civilian areas. They chose to put their people at risk.

Human nature.

Either you are just being a douchebag troll or are completely delusional. How the fuck is the US the "world war machines" when we entered both almost at the end? As for moving their fleet "very near Japan" the distance is over 3,300 miles between Tokyo and Pearl City, Hawaii.

The overall death toll reached 2350, including 68 civilians, and 1178 injured. Close enough.
