Detailed explanation-1: -Truman did not seek to destroy Japanese culture or people; the goal was to destroy Japan’s ability to make war. So, on the morning of August 6, 1945, the American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped the world’s first atom bomb over the city of Hiroshima.
Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. wanted to force a quick surrender by the Japanese to reduce the number of American lives lost. In addition, it was secretly decided at the Yalta Summit in February 1945 that the Soviet Union would enter the war against Japan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the committee advising President Truman recommended that bomb should not be demonstrated and instead should be used against the enemy? The committee thought that the bomb shouldn’t be demonstrated over a deserted island because it would probably bring an end to war.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was inhumane. It caused too much destruction. It killed too many innocent people, including children. It was unnecessary as Japan was essentially defeated. Japan was seeking surrender. It was not universally supported in the United States. More items •20-May-2016
