Oh here's a big debunk for all the anti-Truman BS. I've seen it too many times.
Japan was not going to surrender, they had talks of surrendering only because they knew they would lose but thoughts are worth a penny in the gutter. THEY DID NOT WANT PEACE. To be clear they were speaking of diplomacy from January 1945, the bombs dropped August.
To be fair the main reason they didn't want peace was because they didn't want to damage the status of the Emporer as a mandate was the ceeding of the emporers position.
After the 2nd bomb Japan declared their surrender within minutes of the drop. Later on in the month their position was made publicly clear and declared to the civilians and by september finalized.
This means that all the BS arguments about why 2 why not stop at 1 mean nothing.
If Japan can and did surrender right after the 2nd bomb drop then they could have for the 1st bomb drop.
To go further:
If Truman did this to prove American strength he would only have had to drop 1 bomb. He instead dropped 2.
By dropping 2 he only proved that he is a patriot beyond the shadow of a doubt.
=D Of course war is bad and death sucks =(
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
