It is called History my friend. Yes America was winning the war in the Pacific but it still needed troops to ensure that win. Also America used its "nukes" (actually it was an Atomic Bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and a Plutonium Implosion Bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki) for 2 reasons:
1. To avoid a land invasion of Japan after they failed to agree to the US terms of surrender. The US wanted to strip Japan of ever having another Emperor but they refused, the Bombs were dropped and the Emperor actually stepped in and made the government surrender.
2. As a show of power to Russia, to stop them getting any ideas during the clean up after the war. Russia had already turned on 2 of its initial allies, German and Japan and the US didn't want them doing it a 3rd time.

Edited by Gman_1021: 4/28/2015 6:14:56 AMThe other reason they bombed Japan was too end the war early because if Russia stepped in to fight japan the us knew they would be taking a lot of the lands and establish them self in asia more which is not what the US wanted

Edited by ChinNationFTW: 4/27/2015 7:48:50 AMYou just sound like a complete bullshit. The extra troops has nothing to ensure the win in a winning war. Russia promise to fight Japan and The Japanese knew that, They were going to surrender. The Nukes were already an overkill and a sure Victory. In the end, US let Japan keep their Emperor so it's complete pointless. And to Stop the Rusians? Hell no it cost a hatred then led to the Cold War.

Edited by BrayerIncognito: 4/27/2015 9:31:02 AMNope. If I were you I would get a bit more educated. 1st thing is to watch the documentary series The World at War, made in the 70's. It features interviews with the politicians, generals and their aids from all sides during WWII. They even have Hitlers secretary talking about when he killed himself. It cuts through all the bullshit and tells what really happened by the people in charge at the time. It will open your eyes my friend, to the bullshit you have been told.

Edited by ChinNationFTW: 4/27/2015 7:43:36 PMHere's the bullshit that you just went off topic. You still didn't prove how those if up to "100,000" soldiers might ensure the win when US already winning for SURE. Telling me to watch that documentary has little to nothing to answer our argument about the "100,000" extra soldiers. US already pretty much won the Pacific war since the fall of Germany and Japan knew their lost is inevitable. US don't even need a land invasion they just keep bombing all Japanese military bases when Japan's air force already been eliminated. With the pending soviet declaring war on Japan and the Nukes that "100,000" soldiers has nothing to do with it. You could have just say the Allies just want to save lives on their side and let the Russians do all the work for revenge. This argument drag out longer than it suppose to be.
