The looming threat of soviet invasion and the collapse of the military also played major parts in their surrender.
Ask that to Chinese civilians.

I am sure that no massacre should be celebrated, especially the Chinese one, which is the most suffered in that era.
No one is celebrating the massacre, it’s to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2

Good, I appreciate that.
The point is to celebrate the war’s over, not to celebrate the atom bombing. The two atom bombs were separately dropped on August 6th and August 9th, 1945. And I was talking about September 3rd, the commemoration day for Japan’s public and formal capitulation.
I need to remind that, during the war, citizens in Japan mainland massively took part in producing and assembling weapons for the Japanese army. The famous “Zero” fighter’s production line highly relied on females and students. Objectively, the Japanese civilians aren’t really that innocent. Still, I support you in that no one should have their own joy on other’s wound.

Do you want to celebrate the event in which the USA killed 170,000 civilians in two experimental attacks that knew exactly the damage they would cause and not satisfied with the first one, they launched another one?
how about the same day we celebrate the illegal attack on pearl harbor when the neutral nation of Japan attacked the neutral nation of USA
or the Rape of Nanking
or the Korean comfort women
or the death march of allied prisoners, death through starvation
or the murder of allied nurses
the use of chemical weapons in China
the Japanese that US soldiers were rapists leading to tens of thousands of Japanese’s civilian suicides
that is just off the top of my head

Let’s expose crimes to cover up others, that’s your comment.
Here we talk about Japan, and I talked about Japan, not about other countries.
If we’re talking about crimes, no one is a saint. The USA played the hero in World War II, and its undisciplined army massacred and raped dozens of civilians on several fronts.
Russia broke the record for mass rapes after entering Germany.
China is no saint in its defense either.
The British sent colonial soldiers to the front lines as cannon fodder to loosen German ammunition.
And I could go on with each country involved…
yes
those were all committed by the Japanese what are you talking about
The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. These bombings were carried out by the United States during the final phase of World War II.
youre acting like it was the same day
complete list of every US firebombing raid in WWII is not practical to provide, but the most prominent examples include the extensive and devastating firebombing of Japanese cities like Tokyo (most notably during Operation Meetinghouse in March 1945, which killed around 100,000 people and destroyed 25% of the city) and other industrial centers. The US also conducted firebombing missions against industrial targets and urban areas in Germany and other locations, such as the bombing of Bremen in 1943 and Berlin in 1945.
japan was a fanatical country that began a war of expansion and vowed to fight to the end, it was the perpetrator not the victim
if you want to we can get into an argument about casualties of an invasion of japan
And I’m not defending them, at no point did I defend them as a nation, but rather the fact of celebrating a civil massacre, regardless of the nation involved.
And you’re going back to the same thing, you’re bringing up crimes from one nation to defend another, it doesn’t make sense as an argument.
war crimes are only crimes if they violate existing international law, preferable signed by both nations involved. the nukes fatboy and little man violated no laws at the time of their use. you cannot violate a law written after the ‘crime’. but my point if we want to shame any nation we have to shame all nations equally and not play favorites. second the bombs were dropped to end a war of aggression not win a war or for honor. yes partly as a show of force to ussr but i doubt japan would have ‘enjoyed’ a soviet occupation the way europe ‘enjoyed’ it.

Let’s be honest, the Germans had killed millions of civilians in the Soviet Union. No matter what the Soviets did, they couldn’t have been as criminal as the Germans.
Sure buddy sure.
Estimates for the number of German civilians killed by the Soviet Union, which include deaths from Soviet war crimes and forced labor, range from 500,000 to over 2.0 million. These figures are disputed and encompass a broad range of causes beyond direct combat, such as violence during the war, deaths in post-war internment camps, and fatalities from forced labor in the Soviet Union.
I AGREE WITH BUDDY, FRIEND
