history
During WWII, a rivalry was burgeoning between the two allied superpowers the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. based on their two opposing philosophies Communism and Capitalism. The Soviets and many people in America wanted to invade Japan and finish them off. Whoever defeated them first would most likely gain complete control over the Japanese. The dropping of the two A bombs was justified as a way to save countless lives but it was more likely dropped to show their superiority to the Soviets with the ending of the war being a side effect. It would end the war but with the total destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and mass civilian causalities. It would only make the cold war between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R more heated and it would last for many years to come with some saying it is still being fought.
