Why did america drop the atomic bomb on japan and was it justified?
Probably they used the atomic bomb to ensure that Japan will surrender to the US government and not the USSR, since it is believed that in a possible attack of the Red army against Japan the Russians would easily succeed in having Japan to sign a truce with their government and in this way it would be easier to get them under their communist block. Probably they would have done the same with Berlin or perhaps another German and they would have avoided the fact that the Russians were the first to set foot on Berlin.
