What

was

the

possible

reason

that

American

dropped

an

atomic

bomb

on

Hiroshima

in

1945?American

administrations

stated

that

it

wasmilitary

necessity

to

drop

the

bomb

to

end

the

war

with

Japan.

The

only

alternative

was

an

invasion

in

which

many

US

troopswould

have

been

killed,

and

much

more

Japanese

civilians

would

havelost

government

hadn't

at

the
