Why did the U.S. bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of Tokyo or other cities?
Can you tell me why the U.S. bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of Tokyo or other cities?
The decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was made by the U.S. government in an effort to bring a quick end to the war in the Pacific. These cities were chosen because they were believed to be important military targets and their destruction could help demoralize the Japanese people and government.
