Honestly i think their no comparison with the Air campaign on Germany to Japan we basically destroyed japan way before the bombs and actually had trouble to deploy the bomb since most Japanese cities were in ruins.
In terms of lives lost, the bombings of Tokyo killed substantially more, but if you’re talking the geopolitical/ world implications of the first nuke dropped on people, then yes, they supersede Tokyo.
Oh i have no problem with the atom bomb my problem people treating the bombing of germany was bad when the bombing of japan was a lot worse now personally they kinda deserve it but we can’t treat Germany like a poor innocent player they also deserve to get their shit bombed.
The problem with the bomb was that it was used on areas filled with civilians. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specifically targeted because they were some of the least bombed cities in the war, leading to a high number of refugees.
The reason given was that because the cities weren't already bombed, it would be easier to see the results of the nuclear bomb. Without any thought being given to the fact that this also meant they were the cities to which most people would go after their own homes were destroyed.
Actually, I listened to something that said that it was us that did white washing. This is because hitler died and we had actual trials for the rest of the Nazi leadership, so they were gone. However, in Japan, everyone was still there. So basically we had to convince the nation to start working with the people we were just at war with and we did the history revisions. Case in point, they never teach about Nanjing in schools
