why were the atomic bombs justified
The US was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan already killed over 2,000 people in the Pearl Harbor bombings. We had done nothing to provoke them, unless you count our cutting off trade with Japan, limiting their oil supply.t was payback time for Japan. The U.S. was definitely justified in dropping the atomic bomb, because Japan killed a lot of people in the attack on Pearl Harbor. I think that was totally uncalled for for them to bomb us.
