no again, the reason was japan's attack on pearl harbor. that's why the americans almost single handedly beat japan. most of the US's problem was with japan.

All the US did was a drop a bomb on Japan, that really doesn't take a lot of skill.

Lol are you kidding.

Learn about island hopping and all the battles the US fought to get close to Japan.

They had to save Australia from the Japanese.

Australia won the first battle again Japan, America lost most of its fights against Japan. It was only when the Australasian countries and Americans began fighting together did they really begin pushing the Japanese back.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

America won most of its fights against Japan. After pearl Harbor Japan had most of the Pacific.

Then after the Battle of Midway the USA was able to island hop closer and closer to mainland Japan.

Japanese soldiers stuck grenades down their throats and committed suicide in caves because they knew they didn't stand a chance against the Americans. They were too ashamed to surrender because that is how their culture was.

btw I am getting some of this info from

Here is a quote

During this engagement, known as the Battle of the Philippine Sea, only three American ships were damaged. This victory paved the way for eventual success in the Marianas, and provided a demonstration of the interdependence of operations in the Southwest and Central Pacific Areas.

The last two major campaigns of the Pacific war -- Luzon and Okinawa -- were still to come. But Japan was essentially beaten. It was defenseless on the seas; its air force was gone; and its cities were being burned out by incendiary bombs.

wha? let's try again... i said the reason why the US entered wwII was because japan attacked the united states, not the other way around. that happened later, dude :rolleyes:

and the US didnt just drop a bomb on japan, they did a lot of fighting before. ever heard of the term "island hopping" ? and after the war, general macarthur (of the US) went back to rebuild japan.

just because the atomic bomb is the most infamous part of the US's attack on japan, doesn't mean that's all they did.

before you say stuff, you should research it a bit you know. just in case.

I am sure that there was a lot of soul searching before someone took the decision to drop the bomb and as you say the war had gone on for a long time
and it was felt that this was their only option. I am sure nobody was happy to do it.
