Ok im pretty shure they droped the bombes thenn japan surrendered.

[andgate2000]

Japen only surrendered to the US because they didnt want to surrender to the russians. The US feared another east-west berlin type senerio if the russians invaded...so rather than a land invasion...they hastened the end of the war with the bombs to get in before the russians.

@tkboy121 The Manhattan Project was named after the 1898 Manhattan earthquake caused by Nikola Tesla at his Houston St. Laboratory. -The truth is eternal. Time is as the chains of slavery of which God is not subject

the music is too loud and distracting when people talk

[MisterCinders]

A simplistic overview of a complex subject. They create straw men and then knock them down. Saying that the Manhattan Project was "one of the most controversial human experiments in modern history", is an example. Except for a small number of physicist, like Leo Szilard, there was no controversy of about the project. The real controversy was about the deployment of the weapons and the public policies put in place by Truman who was influenced by Baruch. Skip it.

jewish scientists did not originate the atomic bomb technology. German scientists developed the technology and testted the effects in january of 1945. Hitler decided that the weapon would mar his legacy so the project was abandoned. When Americans fell upon Germany they discovered the atomic facilities and gave the German scientists immunity and lucrative contracts to build the bombs which they dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hitler never would have dropped atomic bombs on human beings.

@yarbles67 You are assuming that the leadership here in the US was seriously worried about there even being such an invasion. They weren't because at the Potsdam conference a secret pact was made between Stalin and the US that he would invade no later than mid-August. Which he did. The terms that the US accepted were IDENTICAL to what the Japanese demanded (namely, the survival of their Emperor as the head of state).

[yarbles67]

That's simply your opinion. US demanded an unconditional surrender and Japan wasn't willing to do it. Instead, they wanted to bleed the US slowly to force them to the negotiating table. After Okinawa, Japan's strategy would have worked. The US however wasn't willing to allow 1 million US citizen soldiers pay that price. Japan reaped what it sowed.

Damn, the Japs killed our troops but America said we're going to kill your men, women and children... I wonder what our country would be like if we didn't drop that bomb though...
