But, if the bombs did not have the devastating effect, would the Japanese surrender unconditionally otherwise? And if the Japanese would not surrender, wouldn’t it make the U.S. efforts of bombings pointless and worthless? This would prolong the war and there would be more deaths and casualties on both the U.S. and the Japanese sides. So, the little more than two hundred thousand deaths on the Japanese side because of the bombings can be justified in front of more than 418,000 loses of American lives in this war. The large number of Japanese civilian death (resulted by the Atomic bombs) were a small price to pay by America in return for its assertion of dominance on the world stage by leaving the Japanese with no other options but to surrender unconditionally, and hence, resulting in the victory of U.S bringing an end to the World War II.
