*during august 6 1945 to august 9 1945, an american plane known as the "enola gay" dropped an atomic bomb called "little boy" on hiroshima/ひろしまand another bomb called "fat man" on nagasaki/ながさき, causing the surrender of japan and the end of ww2 on september 2 1945.
*many say that the bombing of these two japanese cities were unnecessary, however i disagree, here's why.
*imperial japan had commit many brutal and sadistic atrocities during 1937 to 1945, those being the nanjing massacre, unit 731, a system of sex slavery, the bataan death march, and the bombing of pearl harbor (pearl harbor wasn't even that bad but yk)
*not only was imperial japan sadistic, but also persistent. one of japan's beliefs were the bushido code of honor, which was to never surrender, never kill yourself, and that the best way to die would be in battle. explaining why japan was the last to surrender.
*now, atomic bombs may seem too brutal to end a war and make a country surrender, but i believe japan needed some punishment for the atrocities committed, do i believe the innocent japanese civilians deserved to die like this? no, however like i said, imperial japan was one of if not the most sadistic and cruel country during ww2, and the destruction and death of a couple hundred thousand people isn't even that bad comparing to what they've done.
*anyways i might make another essay about japan's war crimes after this

> unfortunately, the imperial japanese army was not the same as the civilians killed in hiroshima and nagasaki, nor the people still suffering to this day. two wrongs don't make a right, and these actions aren't rectified by nuking cities full of civilians. here's a not-so-fun-fact: the americans continued the system of sex slavery until it was necessary to shut it down because like a third of the navy got STDs from raping the women. clearly, nuking did not help in this situation and nor were the other situations resolved through bombing; intervention (such as the nazi rabe's intervention in nanjing) in practice saved far more lives than nuking theoretically did.

> japan's jingoism was perpetrated by the government and emperor and compounded by xenophobia (although there's an unfortunate lack of information about pre-ww2 ultranationalism). the reason why so many people were so jingoistic and sadistic was because they were brainwashed through propaganda and managed to dehumanise the non-japanese. while this is a reason, this is not an excuse, and the army should be held responsible for their brutal crimes. however, civilians who did nothing but were the victims of propaganda as well as the war should not be punished for it.

> two wrongs don't make a right. japan and the people who actually committed crimes did not suffer. civilians did. two nukes dropped on some people in some cities all the way over there are useful for me if i can use them as a way to villainize my enemies ("look, they proved me right") while not hurting me much. of course, it would hurt the economy which would hurt other civilians, which i'm sure you'd be happy about. additionally, whether the nukes were actually useful in making japan surrender is a topic of great debate amongst historians, since it happened 3 weeks after the nuking and not immediately after. some people would rather attribute it to the soviet invasion that happened far closer to the surrender. i would recommend you read more into the debate regarding why japan surrendered.

> you absolutely should look into war crimes and spend time learning about history, but not if you're going to post the absolute lowest effort bait online that might actually mislead people.
