Well that way it wasn't really un-bloody... but for America it sure was.
What about the thesis that America's financial situation didn't allow a longer war against Japan (apart from the bloody aspect
...) and so they just dropped the A-Bomb.
And do you think there was much consideration (i'd like to think so)- who decided it? were there strong voices against it in the time being or after the bombs exploded (condemning it)
Are there sources like (state-)Protocols or sth comparable to that? I would like to know more about the decision- process because i guess it must be very interesting how you decide sth like that...
Would be also interesting to consult the press before and after the strike against Japan but i wouldn't know where to get them articles from my location...
