THE REAL REASON AMERICA USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST JAPAN

THE REAL REASON THE UNITED STATES USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST JAPAN:

"Instead of allowing other options to end the war, such as letting the Soviets attack Japan with ground forces], the United States rushed to use two atomic bombs at almost exactly the time that an August 8 Soviet attack had originally been scheduled: Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9.

The available evidence, though not conclusive, strongly suggests that the atomic bombs may well have been used in part because American leaders “preferred”—as Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Martin Sherwin has put it—to end the war with the bombs rather than the Soviet attack. Impressing the Soviets during the early diplomatic sparring that ultimately became the Cold War also appears likely to have been a significant factor." from the article URL below:-
