140 000 people died from a poor photoshop?

>>666371
you know what i fucking mean c mon man i expect this from /pol/ not /his/

>>666363
People are more concerned about all the other ones going off and killing enough that it looks like a drop in a reservoir

This is a /his/tory board, pal, not for some conspiracy voodoo /x/ shit.

>>666363
Because it doesn't begin to compare to six million

Because most Japs are glad to be part of America's pseudo-empire.

>>666375
You expect /his/ to masturbate your moralism?

Fuck off back to >>>/pol/

>why the FUCK isn't this talked about more....
Because of the Eastern Front.

>>666439
/pol/ doesn't like moralism either, OP should go to facebook.

>>666445
Moralism, as a normative judgement, is at least on topic there.

Are you gonna cry about them too, you fag?

2 massive bombs has changed the world more than hundreds of thousands of little bombs together

that's all there is to talk about

>>666363
Have you been living under a cave?

Fucking murderous clowns.

>>666363
What do you mean? That the atomic bombing in WWII somehow isn't widespread knowledge?

>>666478
isn't the reason Tokyo is as big as it is now, and advanced because it was razed in WW2, basically having a clean slate.

same happen with Rotterdam which is the only city in Netherland with a skyline.

>>666602
not OP but i didn't know 140k died until this moment

>>666378
I kek'd

>>666363
Yes. Yes they did. And countless others were saved from wars that didn't happen because of them. The UN wishes it could save as many lives as nuclear weapons.

>>666626
I think 140k is only in Nagasaki and including the radiation deaths of some years later. I think it's similar to the deaths in the Tokyo firebombing campaign but I'm not really sure.

>>666626
Did you think the nuclear blast over a city resulted in a couple dozen deaths and some bad sunburns?

>>666652
i dunno for some reason I thought they were warned to evacuate or something. they do kind of rush by it in high school when your supposed to learn about this stuff. I never bothered to really look into it.

>>666363
You've heard of this thing called the Cold War, yes?

Society has been having these discussions about Nuclear Weapons for decades.

>>666702
Iirc they did tell them they were going to be bombed, I think they dropped pamphlets

>>666702
Well, the US did demand a Japanese surrender beforehand, under vague threat of "the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitably the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland"

China kicked America out of (almost all of) China.
China kicked America out of half of Korea.
Vietnam kicked France out of half of Vietnam and all of Laos and Cambodia.
Vietnam kicked America out of the other half of Vietnam and all of Laos and Cambodia.
Vietnam kicked America out of Cambodia (again) and China out of Vietnam.

Sure.

>>666618
Nah, it's always been one of the most densely populated regions of earth.

They kept building it out of wood, so it kept burning to the ground.

Did what had to be done.

Otherwise it was send our boys into the retarded meat grinder or let the Soviets do it and keep their conquered territory shitty and communist all the way into 2016 and beyond, just like North Korea.

>>667103
I looked up the sources once. Poles were counting murdered Germans on former German territory as Polish victims.

>>667403
Im okay with no nuke.

>>667403
Japan was forced to surrender unconditionally when the Soviets broke the non-aggression pact and attacked Japanese forces in Manchuria, which made it clear that Japan had no hope of defending the home islands. Just because that coincided with the timing of the second nuke doesn't mean the nukes caused the surrender.

And if the goal was really to prevent deaths, the Allies could have just accepted Japan's conditional surrender before the nukes anyway.

The idea that the war would have continued and there would have been an invasion without the nukes is complete bullshit.

>>667578
It's like Nazis'd arguing killing the jews was successfull since they were blaming them for the wars in Europe eradicating them eventually turned the Old World into a peaceful place.

Don't like to do this moralist crap, but the japs pretty much deserve it for the Nanking Massacre

>>667931
>deserve
No, the real argument is that the Japanese lacked the protection of Geneva, and as an island effectively under siege, siege law applied to all aerial bombardments of "civilians" who of course, as besieged civilians, were in fact combatants.

>>667576
You'd rather than the US Navy had starved every Nip and Korean slave to death? Finally we could demonstrate the naval blockade's effectiveness.

Everyone loves the fireflies animu.

What is it about WWII that draws out historically illiterate retards? With so much written about the war in so many languages you'd think people like OP could read something other than wikipedia.

>>667945
are you retarded? the op literally explained himself in the comments above.

i dunno about the OP but in Canada we don't learn about this in school until you take specialized classes in grade 12.

There were conventional bombing campaigns with much higher death tolls.

I'm guessing it's a dark comedy?

Maybe in Africa

Even in my bumfuck school, the Atomic bomb was a big deal that we spent a whole day covering in detail.

>>666876

Imagine a split Japan.

From Hokkaido all the way down to Tokyo becomes a communist nation under Soviet influence, everything down from Tokyo is under American influence. Tokyo itself is like Berlin, split down the middle.

It'd be great to see what would happen. Would it become another North Korea or another GDR?

>>672894
Youre joking me right
We probably spent a week on the Atomic bombs between the lesson and the debates about whether we should have dropped them
>American public school hurr durr
When will this meme die

>>672948
in canada they don't even talk about it lmao

>>666363

The hell are you talking about? Dropping the atomic bomb has been discussed to death by bleeding hearts and apologists alike. It's practically the national sport of Japan. In terms of horrible atrocities in that war, I doubt it even makes the top 10.

300,000 people died as a result of the fire bombing of tokyo, what difference does it make that death was delivered with a single bomb over dropping tons of bombs.

I'll give you the answer....none.
