I agree. The actual idea that won the war was making the Japanese think that we could continue to drop a bomb on them each week until they gave up. It was partially bluff, based on real destruction.Originally posted by DavidFWhite3:
I think Truman had no choice. He not only needed to end the war as quickly as possible, he needed to let the Russians know that we had it and would use it. Demonstrations would not have worked. Remember, Hiroshima did not end the war. Nagasaki almost did not end the war.
I have visited Pearl, several times over the years, however, one has nothing to do with the other.Originally posted by KenH:
You ought to visit the memorial at Pearl Harbor. If the Japanese had not attacked these United States, then we would not have dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Japanese started the war with these United States and these United States finished it.
