he decision to drop the bombs may seem inhumane. Americans and the allied forces saw Japanese people as inferior and subhuman. President Truman even called them “beasts”. So how was it okay to drop the bombs on Japan out of hatred for their race? The perception of what racism means has drastically changed since the 1940’s, but America definitely had a few significant reasons to dislike the Japanese people. Japan started the conflict with America themselves by bombing Pearl Harbor and killing 3000 Americans. And the claims of the bombings being inhumane and cruel do not make much sense when one looks at Japan’s dark past. Those claims imply that Japan is the primary victim. This is not true because the Japanese were also very cruel to Americans. They lead death marches and executed many American prisoners. Japan had also killed millions of civilians during the war. They are disliked by China, Korea, and other Asian Countries for the bombings and massacres they committed in the war. They believed that they were above all other Asian Countries, which justified their violent behavior. They had a similar mindset to Nazi Germany, and believed that Japanese people were the master Nationality [3]. Overall, America was definitely justified in their decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II. The gruesome effects of the bombs showed the rest of the world what the bombs were capable of, which helped some nations decide against using nuclear weapons. If one can look past the destruction the bombs caused in Japan, one can clearly see that it was simply the most rational choice to end the war. The bombs saved American lives, ended the costly and bloody war, and kept most of the world from turning to nuclear warfare. If it were not for the dropping of the bombs, the Soviet Union and other powerful nations would have went through with their nuclear plans and possibly turned the entire world into a nuclear wasteland.>
