Atom Bomb
... If we were not to have dropped the bomb the Germans would have found a way to use it against us. ... Albert Einstein was the one who informed us that they were finding a way to split the atom and use it for mass destruction. ... WWII was a time for many first’s, like the first atomic bomb, and the first to attack on Pearl Harbor. ... Roosevelt said”(Danger and Survival, pg 2, FDR) when a bomb, is finally available, it might perhaps after mature consideration be used against the Japanese”. So even Roosevelt how didn’t live to see the bomb be dropped had the idea that once we make the bomb Japan is the one who is going to get the bomb dropped. Russia who was our wartime ally was also another huge reason for dropping the bomb.
