The United States was unjustified to drop the bombs over Japan since it caused the death of thousands of innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the war. It was Japan's fault for not surrendering to the U.S. during the war, but if they knew they were going to be nuked by the bombs, then they would have surrendered in the first place. Also, this operation to drop the bombs was primarily motivated by revenge, which is another unjustified reason for ending the war. From the start, the Japanese were brutal, disgusting people who took the lives of millions of people from the lands they conquered, such as parts of China and the Philippines. When President Truman of the U.S. decided to bomb both Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the Battle of Okinawa, he stated that it would end the World War and to get revenge on the Japanese from bombing Pearl Harbor. However, the areas they decided to bomb were full of innocent people who have done nothing. What we did to these people was way worse compared to what the Japanese did to us on Pearl Harbor. Because of the bombing on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, people suffered cancer from the radioactive fumes flowing around. What made things much worse was when on one rainy day, the rain brought the radioactive fumes from the sky, which poisoned everything each drop touched. Major birth effects were inherited from the parents to the offspring as well because of the radioactive poisoning. Now because of the severe damage the bombing has caused, the lands where those people once settled are forever too dangerous for anybody ever again. The bombing may have ended the war and saved millions of American lives trying to invade the Japanese mainland, but both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both permanently damaged from the bombing as well as the civilians were became victims of the incident. Other naive reasons for dropping the bombs were to demonstrate to the world how powerful the U.S. was and what would happen to other countries if they were to dare to mess with them, which was how the Cold War started due to intimidation of Russia towards the U.S.
