Not really. Japan is one of our biggest allies right now and we have military in Japan. I'm sure there's some that still hold a grudge but not many. Japan and China are a different story because of the Rape of Nanking (and a lot of other issues). They still don't get along. Japan and North Korea hate each other too.

Those of you who say it's such a travesty that innocent Japanese died in the two nuclear bombs what do you think would have happened if we invaded Japan? Do you think there would have been no civilian causalities? There were no good options at that point.

Good point that nobody seems to understand. Let's put this in perspective.

Battle of Okinawa

1 million civilian population. Result of Japanese propaganda to throw themselves at the enemy? 150,000 dead. More than either atomic bomb.

Imagine that extrapolated to the 70 million population of the Japanese homeland.

A ground invasion would probably have taken more than 200 thousand lives combined from both sides.

And after it have we seen a nuclear bomb dropped since WW2?

Strong speculation.

And nobody has dropped any nukes on personnel since then. Why? Because anyone with nuclear arms is part of the MAD agreement with the USA and other nuclear powers.
Anyone who is not part of that agreement is considered the USA (and UN collectively) to be a rogue state and has the USA's arsenal pointed directly at them.

Accepting a conditional surrender would have been idiotic. Why would the Allies make that kind of deal when the Japanese have no leverage and accepting it would mean many of those in power in Japan would remain so?

This. Why is that so hard for some to understand?

[KG3]

It's speculation but the projections were 200 thousand plus.

[fitnessbyjay]

Do some research on japanese history they're the biggest bullies in war history and committed countless endless war crimes. read a book big boy

Serious? You know America has overthrown more than 50 foreign governments since WW2 ended? And also sponsored terrorism and committed many terrorist acts. It's like some of you live in a bubble.

[p7nk]

you don't kick a sleeping dog and then expect it not to bite you. those ***gots learned their ****ing lesson, i bet they will never try a attack of that nature ever again. plus i guess you can feel bad for them, since the usa taught the a world a lesson through them.

fucking assholes should've never dropped the bomb, it was wrong.

Not gonna read through this whole thread, but the dude who said we were prepared to drop the next bomb on Tokyo is completely incorrect. We had a total of two nuclear bombs and bluffed the Japanese government into believing we had an entire arsenal.

Also, the Japanese were some sick fukks. They carried out tests like attaching a prisoner's eso****us to his intestines just to see what would happen, and they'd do it with the person fully awake, no medicine. Flame throwers were tested on humans, as well as grenades exploding at different distances for testing purposes. Sick ****. Read up on Unit 731.

the truth is simple:

1. Truman or whoever behind issuing the order to drop the bomb was, wanted to test his new toy on live civilian population in order to fully understand the effects
2. He wanted the whole world to see the extent of the American military might - this very possibly resulted in the Cold war not escalating to WW3 and prevented a nuclear holocaust, because everyone quickly understood what the results of a full blown nuclear war would be.
So in a way, this bombing prevented deaths of billions.

So if the Japanese never bombed Pearl Harbor, the US may never gotten involved in the Pacific and showcased it's power and all that jazz. So in a way, Pearl Harbor prevented deaths of billions.

not that simple

the US would have been drawn into the war one way or another, it just wouldnt be possible for a world power to stay neutral.

Yes, but would they have dropped a nuclear bomb had Japan not attacked Pearl Harbor in the manner they did? Doubtful. So according to your logic, Pearl Harbor basically saved billions of lives.
