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.

  • In the process, it also ensured that millions of Japanese citizens exposed to the radiation would now have to deal with problems of cancer due to radiation, radiation sickness, and other diseases related to high radiation exposure. It also set off the steps of the beginning of the Cold War, which almost became a nuclear war a few times. Did it save countless lives? Well, the Japanese general population was already on the verge of surrendering, with the Japanese army being the only ones able to fight back, and since they were cornered on the island with no way to get out due to American occupation of the seas and oceans surrounding Japan, yeah, sure. Whatever. It "saved" lives, I guess.
