I mostly use news articles for my blogs but this one is just from history, so I may write from my feelings. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are those excuse by the Americans to "end" the war but in reality, tries to scare its main rival the USSR and that point on, the arms race started, thanks to Harry Truman and those who wanted to create wars.
Never in history would happen the atomic bombings again but the 20th and 21st Centuries saw countries, rich and poor make an arms race for the sake of retaliation of another. Revenge is bittersweet and not the best way when you would act as the invader than a saviour, though Japan would recover economically during the 60's, 70's until America would try to control them for their own interests.
After Nagasaki, that is when Emperor Hirohito decided to surrender unconditionally than to sacrifice more the lives of his people and soldiers. The end of the war was inevitable but selfish desires by Americans costed thousands of lives in just three days. You can't justify ending the war by bombing two civilian cities. That's a war crime getting unpunished for by the selfish powers.
May those who perished rest in peace and justice be served.
