The Hiroshima blast killed about 20,000 Japanese and Korean workers instantly. Another 20,000 died the first week and another 30,000 within 1 year. The decision to use the weapons was weighed against an estimated 1 million allied invasion forces casulties and 3 million Japanese military and civilian losses from a conventional attack. The Imperial forces had reeked atrocious havoc on over 30 million victims throughout the duration and had to be stopped. |
