I agree, but evem though I don't want to phantom, underestimate or downplay the utter incomprehension, fear, agony and confusion of seeing a burst of light and explosion that totally and completely rips you apart to bits in a fraction of a second and disintegrate, one thing is for sure, close to ground 0 death would be very quick.... a blink of an eye.

[@marcomontecino5161]

@@stptful According to many experts and witnesses the Japanese did try to reach a peace agreement with the United States and end the war, unfortunately it was done in a way, most likely in line with the Japanese culture, somewhat proud and subtle, which the translators were not able to translate very well or the United States wasn't able or didn't want grasp and be receptive to. If the lack of understanding was intentional then perhaps was largely due to the fact that the Manhattan project was already well underway. Now why dropping two, many historians agree that this had a lot to do with the signal the US wanted to send to the world, specially Russia (we are better, stronger don't mess with US) with this kicking off the next war... the Cold War.

The Japanese weren't specifically told what city (to keep them from moving the POW's there) or what the weapon would be, but they were warned. The Japanese chose to ignore the warning. They were certainly warned after the first bomb, but they still refused to surrender. It took another bomb before the Japanese finally came to their senses. We gave the Japanese MUCH more warning than they gave us at Pearl Harbor. If the Japanese had had the atomic bomb, they would have used it on the U.S. and been proud to do it.

[@Pats0c]

Random Player If you haven't already noticed, I'm half Japanese and I've visited Japan, seen both cities and read books and articles and subjects about the war and the bombings from both the Japanese and American perspectives. The Potsdam Declaration did not need to warn people of the impending destruction they witnessed, it gave the Empire of Japan a very clear cut solution, surrender now or face unimaginable destruction. It was an unfortunate tragedy, it could be considered inhumane, but it was necessary to save millions of lives. Being Japanese, being equipped with the knowledge of both sides, their intentions and ambitions I know that the Japanese would've fought honorably to the death. The bombs sent a message to Japan that their way of warfare was now obsolete and I see the deaths from the atomic bombings as sacrifices for the Empire's ignorance and their sacrifices saved more lives in the long run, the war ended sooner to allow the starving Japanese population aid and support, an invasion was no longer necessary and plenty of would be combatants, Allied, Axis, soldiers and civilians alike were saved. Isn't that at least a noble perspective on this terrible moment in human history?

The U.S.A. did have a *third bomb* nearly ready to use ( on August 19, 1945 ). After Nagasaki, U.S. Officials were instructed to drop subtle hints to anyone they could contact within the Japanese Government that the third city hit, if they did not surrender, would probably be ' a *VERY* large one '. It is quite possible that either Osaka or Tokyo were the probable targets. Or, at least, they were being strongly considered. They were the two largest cities in Japan, at the time. This would also re-inforce the idea, to the Japanese, that the U.S.A. not only had many other bombs, but they were going to use them. No doubt the mere idea that this could happen shook the Emperor and Japanese Government to the core. Especially because the Emperor and the entire Japanese government lived in and around Tokyo itself.
