Was the bombing of hiroshima & nagasaki justified?
The bomb in Hiroshima is reported to have killed an approximately 80-120 thousand people. Half of them died immediately and the second half died a slow and agonizing death over the next 4 months. In Nagasaki, an approximately 60-80 thousand people died. Just like in Hiroshima, half of them died immediately and the other half died the upcoming 4 months. All in all, around 200 thousand people died. The vast majority being civilians. Was it right to drop those bombs over Japan to frighten them into surrendering?
