UPDATED: THIS ARTICLE WAS NOT WRITTEN BY THE SUBMITTER. WE DO NOT TAKE PLAGIARIZER LIGHTLY. THE ACTUAL ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY Gar Alperovitz
This year was the 66th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Though most Americans are unaware of the fact, increasing numbers of historians now recognize the United States did not need to use the atomic bomb to end the war against Japan in 1945. Moreover, this essential judgment was expressed by the vast majority of top American military leaders in all three services in the years after the war ended: Army, Navy and Army Air Force. Nor was this the judgment of “liberals,” as is sometimes thought today. In fact, leading conservatives were far more outspoken in challenging the decision as unjustified and immoral than American liberals in the years following World War II.
By the summer of 1945 Japan was essentially defeated, its navy at the bottom of the ocean; its air force limited by fuel, equipment, and other shortages; its army facing defeat on all fronts; and its cities subjected to bombing that was all but impossible to challenge. With Germany out of the war, the United States and Britain were about to bring their full power to bear on what was left of the Japanese military. Moreover, the Soviet Union—at this point in time still neutral—was getting ready to attack on the Asian mainland: the Red Army, fresh from victory over Hitler, was poised to strike across the Manchurian border.
Long before the bombings occurred in August 1945—indeed, as early as late April 1945, more than three months before Hiroshima—U.S. intelligence advised that the Japanese were likely to surrender when the Soviet Union entered the war if they were assured that it did not imply national annihilation. An April 29 Joint Intelligence Staff document put it this way: “If at any time the U.S.S.R. should enter the war, all Japanese will realize that absolute defeat is inevitable.”
For this reason—because it would drastically shorten the war—before the atomic bomb was successfully tested (on July 16, 1945) the U.S. had strongly and repeatedly urged the Soviet Union to join the battle as soon after the defeat of Hitler as possible. A target date of three months after Germany’s surrender was agreed upon—which put the planned Red Army attack date at roughly August 8, the war in Europe having ended on May 8. (In late July the date was temporarily extended by a week.)
Nor was there any doubt that the Soviet Union would join the war for its own reasons. At the Potsdam Conference in July (before the successful atomic test) President Truman entered the following in his diary after meeting with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin on July 17: “He’ll be in the Jap War on August 15. Fini Japs when that comes about.”
The next day, July 18, in a private letter to his wife, the President wrote: “I’ve gotten what I came for—Stalin goes to war August 15 with no strings on it…I’ll say that we’ll end the war a year sooner now…”
The President had also been urged to offer assurances that the Japanese Emperor would be allowed to remain in some form of powerless figurehead
role by many top advisers—including, importantly, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, the man who oversaw the development of the atomic bomb. Before the bomb was used he explicitly urged the President that in his judgment the war would end if such assurances were given—without the use of the atomic bomb.
Nor were there insuperable political obstacles to this approach: Leadings newspapers like the Washington Post, along with leaders of the opposition Republican Party were publically demanding such a course. (Moreover, the U.S. Army wanted to maintain the Emperor in some role so as to use his authority both to order surrender and to help manage Japan during the occupation period after war’s end—which, of course, is what, in fact, was done: Japan still has an Emperor.)
As the President’s diary entry and letter to his wife indicate, there is little doubt that he understood the advice given by the intelligence experts as to the likely impact of the upcoming Russian attack. Further evidence is also available on this central point: The American and British Joint Chiefs of Staff—the very top military leaders of the two nations—also met at Potsdam to consolidate planning for the final stages of the war in the Pacific. General Sir Hastings Ismay, Chief of Staff to the British Minister of Defence, summarized the latest (early July) combined US-UK intelligence evidence for Prime Minister Churchill this way: “[W]hen Russia came into the war against Japan, the Japanese would probably wish to get out on almost any terms short of the dethronement of the Emperor.”
The July joint intelligence finding, of course, for the most part simply restated what had been the essential view of American intelligence and many of the President’s top advisers throughout the spring and summer months leading up to the July meeting at Potsdam.
Among the many reasons the shock of Soviet entry was expected to be so powerful were: first, that it would directly challenge the Japanese army in what had been one of its most important strongholds, Manchuria; second, it would signal that there was literally no hope once the third of the three Great Powers was no longer neutral; and third, and perhaps even more important, with the Japanese economy in disarray Japanese leaders were extremely fearful that leftist groups might be powerfully encouraged, politically, if the Soviet Union were to play a major role in Japan’s defeat.
Furthermore, U.S. intelligence had broken Japanese codes and knew Japanese leaders were frantically hoping against hope as they attempted to arrange some form of settlement with Moscow as a mediator. Since their strategy was so heavily focused on what the Russians might or might not do, this further underscored the judgment that when the Red Army attacked, the end would not be far off: the illusory hope of a negotiation through Moscow would be thoroughly dashed as Soviet tanks rolled into Manchuria.
Instead, the United States rushed to use two atomic bombs at almost exactly the time that an August 8 Soviet attack had originally been scheduled: Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9. The timing itself has obviously raised questions among many historians. The available evidence, though not conclusive, strongly suggests that the atomic bombs may well have been used in part because American leaders “preferred”—as Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Martin Sherwin has put it—to end the war with the bombs rather than the Soviet attack. Impressing the Soviets during the early diplomatic sparring that ultimately became the Cold War also appears likely to have been a significant factor.
Some modern analysts have urged that Japanese military planning to thwart an invasion was much more advanced than had previously been understood, and hence more threatening to U.S. plans. Others have argued that Japanese military leaders were much more ardently committed to one or more of four proposed ‘conditions’ to attach to a surrender than a number of experts hold, and hence, again, would likely have fought hard to continue the war.
It is, of course, impossible to know whether the advice given by top U.S. and British intelligence that a Russian attack would likely to produce surrender was correct. We do know that the President ignored such judgments and the advice of people like Secretary of War Stimson that the war could be ended in other ways when he made his decision. This, of course, is an important fact in its own right in considering whether the decision was justified, since so many civilian lives were sacrificed in the two bombings.
Moreover, many leading historians who have studied both the U.S. and Japanese records carefully (including, among others, Barton Bernstein and Tsuyoshi Hasegawa) have concluded that Japan was indeed in such dire straits that–as U.S. and British intelligence had urged long before the bombings–the war would, in fact, have likely ended before the November invasion target date once the Russians entered.
It is also important to note that there was very little to lose by using the Russian attack to end the war. The atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9. There were still three months to go before the first landing could take place in November. If the early August Russian attack did not work as expected, the bombs could obviously have been used anyway long before any lives were lost in the landing.
(Since use of the atomic bombs and Russia’s entry into the war came at almost exactly the same time, scholars have debated at great length which factor influenced the surrender decision more. This, of course, is a very different question from whether using the atomic bomb was justified as the only way to end the war. Still, it is instructive to note that speaking privately to top Army officials on August 14 the Japanese Emperor stated bluntly: “The military situation has changed suddenly. The Soviet Union entered the war against us. Suicide attacks can’t compete with the power of science. Therefore, there is no alternative…” And the Imperial Rescript the Emperor issued to officers and soldiers to make sure they would lay down their arms stated: “Now that the Soviet Union has entered the war, to continue under the present conditions at home and abroad would only result in further useless damage… Therefore…I am going to make peace.”)
The most illuminating perspective, however, comes from top World War II American military leaders. The conventional wisdom that the atomic bomb saved a million lives is so widespread that (quite apart from the inaccuracy of this figure, as noted by Samuel Walker) most Americans haven’t paused to ponder something rather striking to anyone seriously concerned with the issue: Not only did most top U.S. military leaders think the bombings were unnecessary and unjustified, many were morally offended by what they regarded as the unnecessary destruction of Japanese cities and what were essentially noncombat populations. Moreover, they spoke about it quite openly and publicly.
Here is how General Dwight D. Eisenhower reports he reacted when he was told by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson that the atomic bomb would be used:
“During his recitation of the relevant facts, I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and so I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives.”
In another public statement the man who later became President of the United States was blunt: “It wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”
General Curtis LeMay, the tough cigar-smoking Army Air Force “hawk,” was also dismayed. Shortly after the bombings he stated publically: “The war would have been over in two weeks. . . . The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all.”
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, went public with this statement: “The Japanese had, in fact, already sued for peace. . . . The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military standpoint, in the defeat of Japan.”
I noted above the report General Sir Hastings Ismay, Chief of Staff to the British Minister of Defence, made to Prime Minister Churchill that “when Russia came into the war against Japan, the Japanese would probably wish to get out on almost any terms short of the dethronement of the Emperor.” On hearing that the atomic test was successful, Ismay’s private reaction was one of “revulsion.”
Shortly before his death General George C. Marshall quietly defended the decision, but for the most part he is on record as repeatedly saying that it was not a military decision, but rather a political one. Even more important, well before the atomic bombs were used, contemporary documents record show that Marshall felt “these weapons might first be used against straight military objectives such as a large naval installation and then if no complete result was derived from the effect of that, he thought we ought to designate a number of large manufacturing areas from which the people would be warned to leave–telling the Japanese that we intend to destroy such centers….”
As the document concerning Marshall’s views suggests, the question of whether the use of the atomic bomb was justified turns not only on whether other options were available, and whether top leaders were advised of this. It also turns on whether the bombs had to be used against a largely civilian target rather than a strictly military target—which, in fact, was the explicit choice since although there were Japanese troops in the cities, neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki was deemed militarily vital by U.S. planners. (This is one of the reasons neither had been heavily bombed up to this point in the war.) Moreover, targeting was aimed explicitly on non-military facilities surrounded by workers’ homes. Here we can gain further insight from two additional, equally conservative military leaders.
Many years later President Richard Nixon recalled that
“[General Douglas] MacArthur once spoke to me very eloquently about it, pacing the floor of his apartment in the Waldorf. He thought it a tragedy that the Bomb was ever exploded. MacArthur believed that the same restrictions ought to apply to atomic weapons as to conventional weapons, that the military objective should always be limited damage to noncombatants. . . . MacArthur, you see, was a soldier. He believed in using force only against military targets, and that is why the nuclear thing turned him off.”
Although many others could be cited, here, finally, is the statement of another conservative, a man who was a close friend of President Truman’s, his Chief of Staff (as well as President Roosevelt’s Chief of Staff), and the five star Admiral who presided over meetings of the Combined U.S.-U.K. Chiefs of Staff during the war—William D. Leahy:
“[T]he use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender. . . . [I]n being the first to use it, we . . . adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.”
Gar Alperovitz, Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland and co-founder of the Democracy Collaborative, is a historian and political economist. He is the author, most recently, of America Beyond Capitalism and (with Lew Daly) Unjust Deserts. His work on the history of the decision to use the atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki spans over four decades; his 1995 book The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb remains one of the definitive accounts of the actions and motivations of the US in the last, tragic chapter of WWII

I wrote this article because I got a call from my grandmother saying that my grandfather passed away from radiation poisoning. He suffered from CRS it was a miracle he lived that long…. I want to prove that killing innocent men, women, and children is wrong… and for what?! To win a stupid war that could have been completely avoided if we didn’t put all of the war funds from WWI on the Germans!… This shit pisses me off…

Sure, they killed people at Pearl Harbor but the contested point is did America really need to nuke Japan to end the war. They had no naval fleet. We had them dominated and basically, there were clutches of resistance that would have taken time to weed out before a treaty could be fully enforced.
Also, we did not want the Soviets coming over to ‘help’ us end the war, then demanding that we split Japan in half in post-war zones. I could understand the fear of having Russia even closer to us with an island base in Japan or the Pacific (and perhaps even in China), but to trade that insecurity for life is questionable at best.
I know gloves come off during a war, but if a nuclear bomb was justified anywhere in the war it would have been in the heart of Berlin, where we could have ended Hitler’s antics in one fell swoop. Why did we not nuke Germany? Too much danger for our allies? Why roast the white skin of the Nazi who was to blame for unsettling the world?

They started the war. They invaded 38 sovereign Countries. We only ended it.
The Japanese would not surrender. They thought their Emporer was a god and would gladly die for him. American experience in freeing other pacific regions during the wor taught us that the Japneeses would fight to the death, even if all was lost.
The Japanese also committed the following atrocities during the war:
Usage of chemical weapons
Torture of POW
Cannibalism
Forced Labor
Conquered Women were forced to be “Comfort Women”
All of these are undisputed and are well documented. See:

Why don’t we go back further August. We helped start WWII by putting Germany into poverty, The agreement was to put ALL war funds. That means all the countries involved with WWI threw there ammo, medical, repair cost all on Germany. They were so poor their money was less then paper, What the hell do you think America would do then? Rise up like the Germans did, Blame all the problems on a certain country or race so they could go we could go to war and possibly win and in result of winning we would dump the funds on someone else. At the time of WWII the German part was pretty strong and strategic no doubt, So what would you say if a country that is powerful came up to you with war at your doorstep and said, “Hey are you in or out, if you aren’t with us we will destroy your country.” I’m pretty fucking sure you would say yes. And for a matter of fact we could have negotiated termination of the Japanese army instead of kill thousands of civilians on non-army sites, but instead America decides to drop technology that wasn’t approved by NATO. So basically what I am trying to say was it was a war crime that America hasn’t been brought to justice for.

Actually, Yakami, they did. US President Woodrow Wilson warned Britain and France that they should not break the German people after World War I.
The one thing America learned from our history (Civil War) reconstruction period is that after a war, if possible you forgive and rebuild. We did not hold the South responsible for their actions and were able to quickly rebuild and in time, progress all laws in equal manner.
Britain and France destroyed the German currency. They literally made the German people as to what Hitler made the Jewish people. The problem with that is, as we see, Germans were a very industrious, capable people. The right person came along and took their hurt and channeled it as anger, pride, paranoia and nationalism.
The US warned this outcome could come about to Britain and France. Being we were still a minor player after WWI (despite helping turn the tide of that war too) Wilson was basically patted on the head and told to shut up, and be happy that his idea for a “League of Nations” was considered.
Woodrow Wilson was so sickened by what the Europeans did to Germany, he came back to the states and had a stroke. He later died and our Congress vowed to never become involved in another European affair, which had been our policy all throughout that time. One order President George Washington gave to our country for all time was to ‘avoid European affairs’ because they never turn out right.
After WWI, our country was determined to do just that. But, when Germany naturally rebuilt and retaliated as Woodrow Wilson predicted, Europe begged us for aide and supply. We complied but maintained we do not fight foreign wars. But Europe then began to fall country after country and Russia’s war supplies were dwindling as well. Then, Japan tried to invade our country. We had no choice at that point, because if Hitler’s European campaign was successful and if Japan was restocked w/ warships and planes, we would risk an eventual dual coast invasion.
America was very reluctant to enter WWII and our hand was unfortunately forced. Japan was nuked to send a message to Russia, plain and simple, but to also let our European allies know that we wanted some policy change in post war time. It’s sad that we exchanged human lives to set the stage for modern politics, but that’s what it was. We contained Soviets for a spell and made European governments compliant.
And in some odd way, it worked. Instead of playing divide and conquer with Japan, we did treat Japan as we did our Southern States after the Civil War. We helped rebuild Japan and now we are the world’s closet trading partners. A moratorium on the Japanese military buildling offensive weapons is still upheld, but if anyone does attack Japan America is now obligated to wipe the offending nation out. That’s quite some progress and what happens when you try to make amends.

Actually I disagree with
“We did not hold the South responsible for their actions and were able to quickly rebuild and in time, progress all laws in equal manner.”
As a southerner I cna tell you to look at the history of the reconstruction era in the south. Because of what the north did “to pay us back” the south’s economy was in ruins up until the 1950s.

since everyone loves to quote wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_era_of_the_United_States#Legacy_and_historiography
“Nearly all historians hold that Reconstruction ended in failure. It is hard to see Reconstruction “as concluding in anything but failure” says Etcheson (2009)[136] Etcheson adds, “W. E. B. DuBois captured that failure well when he wrote in Black Reconstruction in America (1935): ‘The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.’” Likewise Eric Foner concludes that from the black point of view, “Reconstruction must be judged a failure.”
but this is for America after the civil war. The South would have begged for the kind of reconstruction Germany and Japan got after the war.

Religion is NOT just another word in the dictionary. It’s not something trivial to fit into one’s life in their leisure time. Grow up! There’s truth and there’s untruth. Truth is through Jesus Christ. Any other “Truth” is merely lies that will lead the damned to the pits of hell.
Let me repeat what I said to make it very clear for you since you are obviously hard of understanding basic facts. Right now, if the entire nation of Japan had a collective heart attack, they would immediately find themselves in HELL. 100% of them. Eternity. Hell fire. Torturous. Nothing worse.
So, if we drop a few nukes and it decimates 80% of the population, well, maybe the 20% remaining will change their ways and accept Jesus Christ. So, we go from 100% certainly burning in hell for all eternity to 20% maybe having a chance to enter the gates of heaven.

How about the 30 million people Japan slaughtered in World War II, Yakami. Your government and your army were monsters. Let’s take a stroll down Reality Lane:
The Japanese military during the 1930s and 1940s is often compared to the military of Nazi Germany during 1933–45 because of the sheer scale of suffering. Much of the controversy regarding Japan’s role in World War II revolves around the death rates of prisoners of war and civilians under Japanese occupation. The historian Chalmers Johnson has written that:
It may be pointless to try to establish which World War Two Axis aggressor, Germany or Japan, was the more brutal to the peoples it victimised. The Germans killed six million Jews and 20 million Russians [i.e. Soviet citizens]; the Japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese, at least 23 million of them ethnic Chinese. Both nations looted the countries they conquered on a monumental scale, though Japan plundered more, over a longer period, than the Nazis. Both conquerors enslaved millions and exploited them as forced labourers—and, in the case of the Japanese, as [forced] prostitutes for front-line troops. If you were a Nazi prisoner of war from Britain, America, Australia, New Zealand or Canada (but not Russia) you faced a 4% chance of not surviving the war; [by comparison] the death rate for Allied POWs held by the Japanese was nearly 30%.
Source: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v25/n22/john04_.html
Japanese soldiers shooting blindfolded Sikh prisoners. The photograph was found among Japanese records when British troops entered Singapore.
R. J. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, states that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most likely 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. “This democide was due to a morally bankrupt political and military strategy, military expediency and custom, and national culture.”

I’d love to gather all of the people who run this website in one very hot place, and leave them there on their own with no food, water, or shade. Then in a few days when they’d started to go insane from the heat, hunger and thirst, I’d nuke them. And smile while I did it.
In fact, I’d laugh while I did it if I could put all of the evil people who made the descision to nuke Japan on in that place with them.

I hope you’re including Yakami-chan in that. No one seems to realize that she stole this article, or that she’s not even Japanese.
I can’t believe people are really THIS dumb. A person claims to be a Japanese girl, and they all jump to defend her while she lies through her teeth. I guarantee you she doesn’t HAVE a grandfather who died. Especially since she said his death prompted her to “write” this article. (Which she didn’t even do. She stole it. It was written by Gar Alperovitz.)

Go right ahead and try. I’m an asshole because I’m pointing out that she’s not Japanese and that you’re falling for it?
At least I’m not lying to you, trying to earn your pity, stealing, etc. like she is. I think you need to pull your head out of your ass and get yourself an education so you can tell when someone is bullshitting you like “Yakami-chan” is.

These Atheists are such a hoot of hypocrites. They refuse to believe in a loving, forgiving God because of a lack of “proof” – Yet they believe in something that they themselves have not seen with their own eyes.
Oh that’s right, so called proof of the bomb is “on the internet” and “see these gruesome pictures?” is the best they can do. Well, Sonny Boys – Jesus suffered on the cross, deal with it.

Hypocrites? Proof?! There is historic proof of the bombs being dropped! Every history book, every historian! Everyone knows we dropped the fucking bomb! Trying telling someone in Japan that we never dropped a bomb on them, I guarantee they won’t take kindly to it.

Well, Pony, your argument is good for my rose garden, but not much else.
Every Bible, every evangelical! Everyone filled with faith knows He is real. Ask the faithful how they feel about your faithless lifestyle and I guarantee they won’t take kindly to it either.
There, fixed your comment for you.

I like how you COMPLETELY dodged the fact I said the nuking was real.
Look, I don’t care that believe in god, just stop shoving the bible down our throats. We wot change no matter what you say. Believing in something is good, just keep it to yourself!
Also, while calling me pony isn’t bad. I prefer Brony

Bitcham, a history book tells facts. Can it be manipulated? Yes, but consider this: there are hundreds of history books, and all of them can still tell the basic events that happened when you cross-reference them. A bible? You’re telling me that a book that’s been edited countless times and is ancient, and only tells of events prior to when hard evidence could be recorded properly, as well as used to manipulate the masses even more is proof that God exists? Ok, fine, go ahead and believe that, but don’t tell me that I should be living my life according to your ideals when your ideals completely contradict my sense of morality.

By nuking Japan, we ended a war that could have lasted many more years and cost many more lives on both sides. However, to you Christwire faggots who thinks that the Japanese need to burn in hell NEED TO GO BURN IN HELL YOURSELVES YOU RACIST SONS OF BITCHES.

1: Who cares about Yakami’s Ojii-san?
I care about him, He was a great man who loved his family and tried so hard to provide for us even if he couldn’t. He still gave it all he got to help us in our time of need. He helped anyone who would ask, He sure didn’t hope for this war.
2: Yes we still hold a grudge for this event but look at you, You all still hold grudges against the Terrorist and had parties in the street when Bin’Laden was killed, so obliviously there is still a huge grudge. You are truthfully no better than any other country,but the people here are just rotten, Here’s something from the bible to throw in your faces.
Ephesians 4:31-32: Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Luke 17:3-4: Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
So….I forgive you for your arrogance…

Just like you deny that she’s not Japanese, even though she clearly gets all of her translations into Japanese from BabelFish?
She didn’t “clearly report” it. She claimed to write it. She said “I WROTE THIS ARTICLE”. I’m sorry that you can’t read. )=
