Answer 2

Well, there are many disadvantages, but to name a few would be the strain it would leave on Japan after the War, the deaths of innocent people compared with the deaths of military troops (essentially leaving the entire thing pointless in terms of the war because this would just inspire the Japanese to fight harder) but the main disadvantages of the Atomic Bombing of Japan would be that America released one of the most destructive weapns the world has ever known and as such after seeing the destruction that it caused others copied it.
