Did the united states make the right decision to drop atomic bombs on japan?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question.

Some people believe that the United States made the right decision to drop the atomic bombs because this led to the surrender of Japan. They argue that, by forcing Japan to surrender, many lives were saved as the war was shortened. Others argue that this is only speculation, and that even if it were true, it does not justify the enormous loss of life, particularly of civilians. Therefore, it is possible to argue both points of view.
