People have tried to justify the World War II . There was increasing tension in Europe prevailing at that period due to the aggressive policies of Hitler and others [banner_entry_middle]

. He had created insecurity in the region Powerful countries at that time like Britain , France and Soviet Union had to protect the weaker countries in to prevent invasion by Hitler .

Another point that I would like to make is , if the war had not taken palce , the tensions in Europe (existing at that time ) would have been prevailing until now . A world war at this period (1990 ‘s and beyond ) would have had far more disastrous effects compared to that in the 1930 ‘s and 1940 ‘s . It is better if we take World War II as a positive lesson and prevent any such conflicts that would result in combat in the future . Leaders and nations have a lot to learn from World War II . They should work to prevent conflict situations with their neighbors that would be similar to that of World War II

The US launched this operation against the Japanese Empire , a part of the Axis Powers Alliance . It was difficult to measure the fatalities and after effects of the bombing However , it was found that more than 200 ,000 people in both cities died from the attack or related events . Many people have said that there was no moral and ethical justification of such as attack… [banner_entry_footer]
