That is incorrect. Hiroshima was key to restraining the US and USSR during the Cuban Missile Crisis.Cuba has nothing to do with this.
Because we were at war.Why the rush to drop the bomb?
No. We were going to pound Japan as hard as we could until they surrendered.WAIT THREE DAYS!!!!
Truman just wanted Japan to surrender period.Because Truman did not want a surrender until he got to show Russia his new toy
Yes they were. There is a reason why we attack countries when we are at war with them.The bombs were not for Japan
He was mostly likely kept unaware of atrocities but ultimately he was responsibleThe Japanese did some of the most heinous warcrimes. Meanwhile Hirohito cowardly tried to claim he had little power and walked.
"The issue of Emperor Hirohito's war responsibility is a controversial matter.[4] There is no consensus among scholars. During wartime the allies frequently depicted Hirohito to equate with Hitler and Mussolini as the three Axis dictators.[51] The apologist thesis, which argues that Hirohito had been a "powerless figurehead" without any implication in wartime policies, was the dominant postwar narrative until 1989.[52][53] After Hirohito's death, critical historians[54] say that Hirohito wielded more power than previously believed,[51][54][55] and he was actively involved in the decision to launch the war as well as in other political and military decisions before.[56] Moderates argue that Hirohito had some involvement, but his power was limited by cabinet members, ministers and other people of the military oligarchy.[57]"

Is that an effort to excuse Truman’s war crime? They did it so we can too. Nanananana….The argument of the feeble minded.The Japanese did some of the most heinous warcrimes. Meanwhile Hirohito cowardly tried to claim he had little power and walked.

None of what you posted means as anythingThat is incorrect. Hiroshima was key to restraining the US and USSR during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
You and I (and everyone else) would be dead right now if Hiroshima had never been bombed.
Because we were at war.
No. We were going to pound Japan as hard as we could until they surrendered.
Truman just wanted Japan to surrender period.
Yes they were. There is a reason why we attack countries when we are at war with them.
Your first post I agree with, after all these years. Does it surprise you all committed war crimes?Well then every participant in WW2 was guilty.
^^^^^^Why would I leave, Junior? You never did tell me how many years you've been teaching History. Oh, and did you notice all the many, many references, links, and direct quotes I have posted on this topic?
Just telling the truth. Make of it what you wish. Study the Japanese atrocities during WWII. Try to understand the atmosphere at the time. One can actually disagree with what Truman did but understand the circumstances at the time. It takes more intellect than you posses I guess.Is that an effort to excuse Truman’s war crime? They did it so we can too. Nanananana….The argument of the feeble minded.
Do you wish they dropped it on Tokyo?They didn't drop it on Tokyo.
Someone actually said that? Oh God, we are in trouble.They didn't drop it on Tokyo.
No. Wrong. Just because the Japanese commit atrocities does not excuse American atrocities. Truman should have been executed.Just telling the truth. Make of it what you wish. Study the Japanese atrocities during WWII. Try to understand the atmosphere at the time. One can actually disagree with what Truman did but understand the circumstances at the time. It takes more intellect than you posses I guess.
No such war crime.Is that an effort to excuse Truman’s war crime?
America didn't commit atrocities.Just because the Japanese commit atrocities does not excuse American atrocities.
That would be murder.Truman should have been executed.
I don't think you were lying, but you did make a number of untrue statements.None of my posts lied.
My post corrected some of your numerous untrue statements.None of what you posted means as anything
Because you said that hacks who know nothing about history should leave, and you are a hack who knows nothing of history.Why would I leave,
Given your vast and total ignorance of this subject, you are the only junior here.Junior?
You lack the intelligence to understand this, but other people's private lives are none of your business.You never did tell me how many years you've been teaching History.
You have backed up none of your personal attacks against me.Oh, and did you notice all the many, many references, links, and direct quotes I have posted on this topic?
NopeMy post corrected some of your numerous untrue statements.
Liar.Nope
Truman made the right decision, WW II had 82MM+ casualties, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed 226,000 and ultimately saved 2MM + more casualties from occurring. As harsh as this sounds, this was the best decision.
Padding your post count by replying to ignorant posts already debunked is stupid
