Was America right to drop the bomb on Japan?

In some ways yes, America was right to drop the bomb on Japan because it was a quick way to end the war and was an easy way to stop the conflict between the countries. On the other hand the Japanese still didn't back down immediately after America’s air force dropped the bomb. The fact that Japan didn’t still back down immediately could be argued as America was insisting that they surrender; this would mean that they had to give up their emperor. This kept Japan fighting for longer, if America didn’t insist that Japan should surrender Japan would of fought for less time and this could of avoided a lot of conflict between the countries.

Also, in a way it was sort of helpful for Japan that America dropped the bomb as it avoided Japan becoming communists by Russia, but this point could be argued on why America’s air force didn’t drop an Atomic bomb as well on Russia to avoid Japan becoming communist. The fact that America dropped the bomb on Japan could be seen as beneficial for Japan as from when America dropped the bomb Japan has been re- born and developed; Japan has now developed as one of the largest countries in the world for manufacturing.

In other ways no, America was not right to drop on Japan because the effects of the Atomic bomb were far worse than the bomb Japan dropped 4 years before. The effects of the atomic bomb would have been unfortunate for the innocent Japanese victims involved in it, America could argue this point that they had their ships destroyed at pearl harbor, but this point does not make it right that they dropped the bomb, you can build/get a new battle ship but you cannot re build all those innocent lives which were lost.

Also on behalf of the point that innocent people lost there lives, it could be argued that the 2 cities were America dropped the bomb weren’t even military basses, there were more ordinary people in Hiroshima than military, this fact logically means that America killed more innocent people than there intended group of people the military. Information reads the ratio of 5 to 1; this means that in every 5 people only 1 was a soldier in Hiroshima. So that means in every 5 people America killed 4 innocent and only 1 intended Military soldier.

Overall I think America was wrong to drop the bomb on Japan, I see it as an unnecessary piece of nuclear action, America killed more innocent people than the intended group of people the military, for a start America was getting revenge on Japan after Japan dropped a bomb on them and destroyed there battle ships also to justify the money it had cost America to develop; you can get new battle ships and you can gain more money, but America took it one step further and killed more innocent Japanese civilians than military soldiers, they bombed Hiroshima which they supposedly knew had a larger population of normal people than military soldiers; you cannot get new lives of all those innocent people they killed.
