no, the US just didn't want to invade japan. they invaded okinawa, and the civillians were waiting on the beach with sharpened bamboo sticks to "kill" the americans with

the japanesse were going to fight to the death. an invasion of the main island was slated to cost 1 million american lives and 75% civilian casualties.

plus, if the bombs hadn't been developed, the US invasion plan was this:::

at huntsville, al. they had already made tons of nerve gas. this was based on experience with okinawa.

they would first, gas the entire island and send troops in with gas masks to kill off the people who survived to resist.


the bombs were the lesser of two evils, but much lesser.

and the placing two was a bluff. the japanesse thought we only had one bomb. by dropping two, we tricked them into thinking we had a whole stockload. but all we had were two.
