During World War II, the United States bombed Japan with atomic bombs, so why didn't it choose to blow up Tokyo?
On April 30, 1945, after Hitler committed suicide in the basement, Germany was momentarily leaderless and finally chose to surrender, and of the three fascist countries, only Japan remained stubborn in the Chinese battlefield, and it became more and more fierce, as if it had gambled everything in order to conquer China. Because Japan's behavior was condemned by various major powers in the world, many countries joined the War of Resistance Against Japan, hoping to help China defeat Japan and crush Japan's ambitions.
Because the Behavior of the Japanese at that time was too extreme, coupled with the fact that Japan had advanced weapons, if it confronted Japan hard, it would inevitably cause great losses, and other countries and China were not related to each other, and it was not cost-effective to pay such a tragic price. Just when the Allies were in trouble for a while, a good news suddenly came, the United States successfully developed the atomic bomb, and the test was successful, and people also saw the great power of the atomic bomb. In order to end the War of Resistance Against Japan as soon as possible, the United States decided to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, and chose the location in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which formed a huge mushroom cloud over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing tens of thousands of Japanese people, and the Japanese had to stop the war of aggression against China and choose to surrender to China.
I believe that many people will wonder why the United States did not choose Tokyo as the place where the atomic bomb was dropped, to know that Tokyo is the place where the Japanese emperor lives, just as the so-called "catch the thief first captures the king", once the emperor is killed, Japan will not be leaderless, and in the end it can only obediently surrender. The reason why the United States did not choose to blow up Tokyo naturally has its own reason, if the emperor is killed, this is bound to cause hatred among Japanese soldiers, Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death, once they arouse their hatred, they will make more crazy moves, in the end will only cause more unnecessary losses, making the war more intense.
Although Tokyo is a more prosperous place in Japan, the military of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is more developed, and once Hiroshima and Nagasaki are destroyed, the Japanese will lose a steady stream of support, cannot obtain more advanced weapons, and lose the most basic ability to fight, which is like cutting off Japan's way of life, and Japan can only surrender without a war. War is bound to bring death, the Allies are not willing to let more innocent people die in war, so they can only stop the war through this method, although there are many innocent Japanese who died in the war, but this is indeed the best way to end the war, only if Japan suffers losses, Japan will stop the war.
