WW2 ended due to them basically
I don't think you'll find many historians arguing for this point. By the time the US nuked Japanese, the war in Europe was already over, and Japanese were preparing to surrender anyway. Allies had more than enough conventional firepower to destroy Japanese cities, as shown by a single bombing of Tokyo in March 1945, which had casualty toll close to Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
- refurb 9y agoJapanese were preparing to surrender anyway They were so close to surrendering that after the first nuke they had several days to surrender, but didn't until they were nuked again?
- alexasmyths 9y agoYes, we all know it would have ended without them, but not as it did.
