77 years ago. The beginning of the End of a war

[nstoolman1]

The United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945, respectively. The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict.

I was just wondering if the war had continued how many lives would’ve been lost?

There are estimates between 50,000 and 30 million. Estimates vary.

Estimates vary, but remember, you NEVER win a war by dying for your country, you win a war by making the other poor bastard die for his country!!
