Unwarranted. We should have accepted their surrender instead of trying to force them into an unconditional surrender.


I was raised (like most) to believe there was no other way and all that.

I came to grasp how severe the act itself was but even though I read a lot of history I've largely stayed away from WWII myself. Did they really offer something reasonable that we rejected?

Yes. Basically

They were beginning the process of offering negotiations
Bomb 1
They requested we negotiate through official channels and everything
Bomb 2
They formally surrendered in the hopes that it might spare them another nuclear bomb falling upon their civilians

The us committed the most horrendous acts of terrorism in history as a result
