"Reasons for and against the dropping of the Atomic Bomb".

Truman dropped the bomb was one of the most sensible things he done because it saved a lot of American lives. He dropped the bomb because it has proved the Japan would fight to the last man during the island hopping tactics. The Americans had no choice but to drop the bomb because they knew that if they charged in they would lose many troops; so the Japanese. The Bomb existed so why didn’t the Americans use it? This was called “The Manhattan Project” this project was done by groups of intelligent scientist such as Einstein. They use so much money on it so they used it also it was a fast way to end the war because they knew that the Japanese would not surrender. They also needed to scare the USSR because they know that their forces were building and the USA was seeing them as enemy; they used the bomb to scare them and other countries.

But, the affects that was made by the bomb was massive. The cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki was destroyed in matters of seconds! Many died instantly and others who didn’t died from radiation sickness and until today there are still deformed child and cancer because of this bomb. They could have use other ways to make the Japanese to surrender:

-Blockade of the island and stopping food into land, starve them out.
-Sent troops in and take over the land
-Wait till the Japanese surrender

The points above were only some of ways that they could have done. The USA already had full control over the air and sea and the bomb was also really expensive. They could have used this money to do other useful stuff and save lives instead of killing people. Also they weren’t really sure how strong the bomb was because they only tested it once; and they did not know the side affects. Truman shouldn’t have made such a move because he has caused the world to fear this bomb and making other counties want to produce it (more and more).

I personally think that it had changed the world because it produced fear to everyone and that nowadays the bomb is much more powerful. Many people had died from this bomb and Truman made the wrong move. He could have used other ways to make Japanese surrender also he should have known that Japanese would not surrender unconditionally.
