US Bombing of Hiroshimathat

Many state that the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima ordered by President Harry S.Truman was a crucial part in the war. It resulted in Japan's surrender and peace. Others stated that the bombing was irrational and it claimed many innocent lives. Many state that the bombing of Hiroshima was not crucial in ending the war and other methods could be utilized.I feel that the bombing of Hiroshima was crucial to ending the war.

The bombing of Hiroshima was crucial to ending the war as it broke Japanese morale and destroyed one of its main industrial cities. Hiroshima was one of the cities that produced many war products at that time. By bombing it, it would effective cripple Japan's war supplies and thus reduce their ability to fight. With the knowledge that one of their main sources of war materials was destroyed, Japan's morale will no doubt be weakened. Also, the thought of the US having such as powerful weapon would also greatly impact the Japanese's morale. With low morale, the Japanese will not have the strength and will to continue fighting and surrender

However, the bombing of Hiroshima might have been unnecessary as Germany and Italy, Japan's allies, had surrendered. With their surrender, Japan would lose the support of the two powerhouses which it heavily relied on. Thus, this would reduce their ability to fight on and eventually cause them to lose the war. Also, with the surrender of Germany and Italy, countries in Europe would be able to join in the war in Asia and aid USA in defeating the Japanese. Thus, the bombing of Hiroshima might have been unnecessary.
