Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The use of Atomic bombs on Japan during world war 2 was the correct moral choice. It saved countless human life, and brought a swift end to the war.
Also who knows how much other death would of occurred had the world not born witness to the devastating power of those bombs.
The fear of those weapons, kept first world nations relatively peaceful towards each other. Now some of you may be thinking "What about the Cold War?". Well that speaks to my point as well.
Even after WW2 nations were still aggressively pursuing their own agenda's against one another, but i feel the power of the Atomic Bomb is what made them change their game up.
In short the bombings of Hiroshima, and Nagasaki while deeply unfortunate incidents, have saved countless lives.

2 Replies1) WWII didn't end with Japan. 2) The actual "benefits" of the nukes have been controversial and nobody has been able to say decisively whether they helped or not. 3) Even then, whether they helped or not is irrelevant. It opened the doorway a little wider for nuclear warfare. We've survived the last 70 contentious years since then with more than a few close calls, but I don't see this fragile peace holding up much longer.
