Japanese soldiers would have been killed if they had more battles. Also that was the most number of soldiers that had died in one battle‚ 6‚800‚ of The battle of Iwo Jima. The US then got worried about the soldiers so President Truman decided that he had no other choice than to bomb the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This important because I do not want anyone to die but 220‚000 is a lot but 360‚000 is more. So this is why the Americans partly bombed Japan. In the the second place I think the
