Germany surrendered fully to the allied forces a good 2 to 3 months before the first bombing in Japan (Victory in Europe [V-E Day] was declared on May 8, the bombing in Hiroshima was on August 6).
Also, it didn't "fully pull America as THE world power", it established the USA and USSR as the world powers. Had there been no question of superiority there would have been no Cold War and subsequent arms and space races. I further question your third point as I fail to see how simply establishing superiority justifies that kind of slaughter.
Speaking of the Cold War. I would like to suggest that the use of the bombs in Japan actually worked to scare the US and Russia. I doubt that they could have truly comprehended the horror of such weapons and, had they not have been used then, would have been more likely to use them during the Cold War. Perhaps on a large scale.
@Inmate — Why the hell would a foreign power allow an apparently militant leader to remain in power? That's ridiculous. What if Germany had asked that Hitler been allowed to remain in power? Or Italy asked for Mussolini?
Furthermore, 3-4 days is apparently enough time to make a decision of surrender. They managed to do it in one after the bombing of Nagasaki.
sigh no they were beaten a good month tops but they had not surrendered. and we had been "Island Hopping" to get to japan. and they had been fighting to the death. For ISLANDS THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE PEOPLE ON. You Ever here of the Kamikazes they were Japaneses suicide bombers. and they were using them before we were even in range of to bomb them. think of what would have happened if we tried to invade japan THEIR HOME ISLAND. And Truman did send them an "Ultimatum" and they said no. so we bombed Hiroshima and they still did not surrender. so we bombed Nagasaki. and the reason we needed to end it quick with them was to beat Russia to Germany. cause had they have arrived without The rest of the Allied powers being there then we would have been screwed cause Russia or sould i say the USSR would of had GERMAN FACTORIES. and you see how good they worked against us right so yeah. and even to say my HISTORY TEACHER AND HE IS BIG INTO WORLD STUFF AND ALL AND MOSTLY HISTORY EVEN BELIEVES IT WAS JUSTIFIED. i say it is u have ur option so there. but yeah it was.
and to the other girl. it sure would have been enough time if they saw a huge explosion, to say hmmm i think we should surrender. so yeah
eek confused rolleyes
What? Do us all a favor, print out what you just typed there, bring it to your HISTORY TEACHER THAT'S BIG INTO WORLD STUFF AND ALL AND MOSTLY HISTORY and ask them to respond to it. I'm mean, holy s**t, I can barely understand what you're trying to say, let alone respond to the stupidity of it. Wow.
Maybe your English teacher too. Is English your first language?
