Original Note:
The US government at the time believed that Japan would not surrender and the continuation of the war would be costly for both sides. https://www.nps.gov/articles/trumanatomicbomb.htm https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/06/03/atomic-bomb-oppenheimer-hiroshima-nagasaki-world-war-ii-history/ The revisionist view that Japan would have surrendered without the bombing does not have strong evidence. https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/history/debate-over-japanese-surrender/#:~:text=The%20other%20piece,the%20Hiroshima%20bombing.
