Explosion of US Atomic Bomb on Japan

Introduction

In history of the world bomb dropped on Japan at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is the most controversial discussion. The debate is about whether the decision to bomb Japan was right or wrong and if right what is the justification? These are several questions posed by both the supporters and opposition for bombing. The supporters justify it by giving the reasons why it was necessary to stop the war. But, the opposition claims there is no justification for such a big loss of life and its distress years after.

He added it is the most horrible weapon but, it will be proven as the most useful. How can a liberal man justify the killing of more than 150,000 innocent lives using the power of just 1 nuclear bomb? However, before the explosion Truman's argument was supported by a larger group as he claimed the bombing will strictly target the military, whereas the innocent citizens will stay safe from the bombing.

He said that he has conveyed the intensions for bombing on the soldiers and not the children and women, to Mr. Stimson, who was the secretary of war at that time. Truman further clarified the position and reputation of US as the leading unit of the civilized world will never subject the civilians to bombing. Even when the Japanese were merciless, savages, fanatic, and ruthless, USA will not bomb the capital of Japan ...
