The Atomic Bomb

     The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unjust and unfair because it caused massive destruction and innocent civilians of Japan to die ruthlessly and also because the Japanese people were ready to surrender. To some people, the bomb was justified because Japan fought back on civilians first, therefore breaking the law of war. The law of war states that all unnecessary destruction should be avoided and punishing civilians falls under that category. However, other people believe that by abiding the  rules, the law of war, they will clearly end up in the winning and that's what the  US managed to fail to do. Even though they ended the war with the atomic bomb, some individuals say it was cheating and an unfair way to end World War 2.
