> In fact it is not even proven that the bombings had any meaningful impact to the decisions to surrender. If the Japanese didn't surrender after having whole cities firebombed, it is insane to think the atomic bombings would have had any more impact on moral.
If you look at which shaped fiction the most, there is no doubt that the nuclear bombings had a much greater impact than the fire bombings.
So I don't think it is insane to say that a single bomb with the power of thousands regular bombs can cause a significant impact on morale, compared to the regular bombs.
- cardanome 4y agoYes, it did have impact in fiction and also on the world stage, I already said that the main goal was to show strength and intimidate the Soviets. For this is served well. Did it impact the Japanese military leadership, which obviously did not care much about civilian causality, in their decisions much? No.
