Still, there are over 140 million people here in the land area the size of California….seems like it really didn’t do anything to the population.

Well, yeah. If there was 1,000 nukes used in a nuke carpet bombing, most of japan would be destroyed and half of asia and the pacific would have a nuclear winter.

I personally view that bombing as a bit over the top, when we were basically waiting for Hirohito to surrender.Well before the A-bombs were used, Roosevelt’s and (later) Truman’s advisors had come to the conclusion that at least two atomic attacks would be needed to persuade Japan to surrender: the first to prove to Japan that the US had a functional atomic bomb, and the second to prove to Japan that the US had more than just one bomb in its arsenal (and thus that Hiroshima was not a one-shot wonder but rather the first of a potential series of future atomic attacks).

I wonder how many more people would have died if the Japanese refused to surrender.
