Why was the atomic bomb developed? What reasons are given for the use of these bombs in World War II? What were the results of these bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? In your opinion was the use of these bombs by the United States justified? Knowing that such atomic/nuclear weapons have not been used since 1945 and recognizing the destructive force of these two small atomic bombs, would there ever be any legitimate reason for using much larger nuclear weapons by a country in the future?
