If people hadn't seen it I'm pretty sure that the effects would be underestimated and large sectors of the populations would actually demand nuclear attacks.
Time that the USSR could use to enter the war and claim some piece of Japan, so we have another country divided (bad, really bad) This means more proxy wars and more chances of a spark to start the nuclear war.Īnd the world realised the horror that a nuclear bomb is thanks to Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
It's doubtful that Japan would have surrendered anyway, and if Operation Downfall had been done, the death toll would have been much higher, both for the Allies and the Japanese.Įven if Japan surrenders, it would take some more time. From my point of view not nuking Japan would have been utterly disastrous.
