Its not just a side note - its one very, very important fact to understand many german actions after 1923.

But this fact - the illegal naval blockade AFTER the ending of WWI - is very often (nearly alway, nothing about it in german schoolbooks) brushed under the carpet - becaus the winner writs the history and is allowed to say, whats important and whars not so important.

So it's obvious you are against the atomic bombs. So what you you have done of you were Truman? You can either use this cool new weapon that will force Japan to surrender a week after its use...or you can keep sendin scores of American soldiers in to die or be captured on remote Japanese islands. Japanese soliders don't surrender! They keep fighting to the death because to them its honourable to die in war and dishonorable to be captured. If we hadn't used the atomic bombs the war could have continued for months longer. 

Yeah I agree its not fair to kill civilians....but if I have to choose between Allied soldiers dying or Axis civilians dying I'll choose Axis civilians every time. Its just the cost of war so you're gonna have to deal with it. 

Plus I should throw in that what Japan did in China, plus Japan's treatment of POWs was worse than anything the allies did. Allied POW camps were a vacation compared to Japanese ones. 

I think people forget the immense Civilian casualties the Japanese would have experienced with a full Invasion plus millions of Casualties by soldiers as well.

that is a sad excuse for us's actions

japanese were ready to defend their land

this excuse of dropping atomic bomb and then giving this sad excuse  that 'oh we are actualyl the good guys that we sropped an atomic bomb instead of invading you is pathethic

its like you kill a man to save 5 other men,you have no right

They would have MUCH greater then the deaths from the atomic bombs and plus entire regions would have been destroyed.

Likely we would have seen fighting on the scale and destruction as on the Eastern Front.

Frankly the battle of Oakinawa was terribile and that would have occured all across Japan.

no they couldn't as US had to travel to get to japan,they would have gone down.japanese were very strong and honourably courageous back then

So it's obvious you are against the atomic bombs

i shouldn't be?

So what you you have done of you were Truman? You can either use this cool new weapon that will force Japan to surrender a week after its use...or you can keep sendin scores of American soldiers in to die or be captured on remote Japanese islands.

really,what if russia and other countries today use the same 'COOL' weapon that they have in excessive,russia has the most nukes close to couble of USA and take out USA and western countries war crimes in the middle east?

would that be right?

i will tell you what i would do,i wouldn't have stopped trade to japan so the conflict wouldn't have started in the first place.If america never applied their empirical regulatory authority,it wouldn't have happened.

and then you give an excuse of 'oh they saved american lives but fucked japanese lives'

Japanese soliders don't surrender! They keep fighting to the death because to them its honourable to die in war and dishonorable to be captured. If we hadn't used the atomic bombs the war could have continued for months longer. 

so you're saying america decides when to end war and when to force other to stop isn't it?

all your comments are in support of empire regulation which the anglo-american empire did that time and is still doing today

Yeah I agree its not fair to kill civilians....but if I have to choose between Allied soldiers dying or Axis civilians dying I'll choose Axis civilians every time. Its just the cost of war so you're gonna have to deal with it. 

what can i say to such a cold blooded man?

Plus I should throw in that what Japan did in China, plus Japan's treatment of POWs was worse than anything the allies did. Allied POW camps were a vacation compared to Japanese ones. 

japan did to china?

why do you forgot what British and america have done to the world?

they slaved the entire freakin world in old time slavery and now economic slavery when they themselves don't work but just play around with money on wall street and sit on debt

japan crimes are nothing compared to that

the way you debate is you diretly just look at WW2 cromes but the real fact is that WW2 happened because of old crimes of the FRANCE,BRITISH,AMERICA

That the Japanese were going to surrender was a complete myth.  After the nuclear bombing, two japaneses officials  called the nuclear bombings of their own people a "Gift from heaven"

Think about that... Japanese political officals said that about the worst bomb ever being dropped on a japanese city and wiping out his own people and civilians.

stop giving such a pathetic example

that way people suffering today because of financial crisis who don't know history and economics would say socialism is a gift from IMF,WORLD BANK,WORLD GOVERNMENT.

It often feels like there is a higher percentage of American's outraged by the atomic bombings then there are japanese!

It often feels like there is a higher percentage of smart and intelligent American's and other people across the world outraged by the socialistic nature of today's world then there are foolish idiots who don't understand what socialism and authoritarian world is in the long term!
