Truman's decision to bomb Japan was wrong for **multiple** reasons.
B. Evidence:
One piece of evidence that shows Truman made the wrong decision is **the assertion that Japan was already on the brink of surrender. According to Douglas J. MacEachin in "The Final Months of the War with Japan," many military leaders believed that Japan would have capitulated without the use of atomic weapons, suggesting that the bomb was not necessary to achieve victory.**
A second piece of evidence that shows Truman made the wrong decision is **the extensive and devastating impact of the bombings on civilian populations, as detailed in "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" by the United States Department of Defense. The report outlines the catastrophic destruction and long-term health consequences that resulted from the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, indicating profound moral implications of such an action.**
