why did the us use the atomic bomb on japan
The US decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 was meant to kick-start the Cold War rather than end the Second World War, according to two nuclear historians who say they have new evidence backing the controversial theory.he real reason why nuclear weapons were used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that the Japanese refused to surrender and at the time of the US bombings Russia was preparing to attack both Manchuria and Korea. USA was well aware th Japanese had the atomic bomb and did not want the technology to fall into Soviet hands.
