Hi there! Please help!! I suck at World History and i cant seem to figure out the answer to this problem. Its open response, and i suck at writing, too. Question: In your opinion, should the United States have used the atomic bomb to end World War II? Write a one paragraph essay giving at least three reasons supporting your response.

World War II is one of the most historic points in the history of the world.  The war was by far the most devastating in the history of the world.  There were many controversial actions during the war, but one of the biggest was the decision by the United States to drop atomic bombs.

The atomic bomb should have been used to end the war because it saved more lives than continuing the war. The official bombing order was signed on July 25, 1945, by Thos. T. Handy and sent to General Carl Spaatz.  The bombing order called for additional bombs for the targets in

Japan when called on by the project staff.In the 1960s the public saw the bomb only as an action to gain an upper hand with Russia . Also, on a more tragic note, by 1946, 240,000 Japanese had died from the two bombs . Even now people are still dying from the effects of the Atomic Bomb. One aspect that is under big concern is whether dropping the bomb or an invasion would have taken more lives. One source that gave estimates of an invasion stated, "In a meeting on 18 June the Joint War Plans Committee gave Truman projected death rates ranging from a low of 31,000 to a high of 50,000" . This number was much lower than predictions from other sources. A.C. Snow, a News and Observer editor, wrote, "The invasion was expected to be the Armageddon of World War II some historians project that a million or more lives would have been lost" . President Truman and Secretary of War, Henry Stimson, said that dropping the bomb was a military action that avoided the loss of many lives in the upcoming invasion of KyushuExplanation:
