Did the US Really Need to Bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Did the United States really need to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? On August 6 and 9, 1945, two Japanese cities were wiped off the map. Hundreds of thousands died. The world was told it ended the war. But what if that’s not the whole story? Declassified documents show Japan was already willing to surrender. Even top American generals opposed the bombings, so why drop them anyway? Some believe it wasn’t just about Japan, but a warning to the Soviet Union. A cold message at the dawn of the Cold War. Was it peace or power? Tell us what you think in the comments and follow for more hidden truths from history.

Absolutely it had to had happen. They would have fought to the bitter end . They had kids lined up to charge the beaches . Bushido was their main motivation that would have continued the fight
Ive done research on these events, and japan was willing to surrender your correct. Exept only after the first bomb was dropped. The translation that was used for the peace time talks, it was mistranslated leading to the second bombing – also leading to the unconditional surrender of japan. Either way tho it did need to happen, it ended the possibility of multiple more years and more deaths for both sides. We had to think of our own.
While the emperor may have surrendered the regular Japanese would not and if American soldiers would have stepped foot on those islands the regular citizens would have pulled out swords and fought to the death every single last man woman and child they estimated it would take probably 2 million casualties to take the islands 2 million American casualties not Japanese so instead they dropped the bomb
