The United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to save the Philippines from occupation. There’s no other explanation.

There are many reasons why the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, I’m not aware of any other reason that would be as logical and historical as the fact that the U.S. wanted to save the Philippines from occupation. <br><br>The U.S. was planning to invade the Philippines and use it as a stepping stone to Japan. But if the U.S. invades the Philippines, Japan would capture the Philippines and use it as an air base to attack the U.S. West Coast. <br><br>The Philippines was the key to Japan’s strategy to defeat the U.S. Japan was waiting for the U.S. to invade the Philippines. The U.S. had already defeated Japan at the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Guadacanal. Japan’s only chance of winning the war was for the U.S. to invade the Philippines. <br><br>President Harry S. Truman knew all this, as did his Japanese counterparts. Truman knew that the Japanese were expecting the U.S. to invade the Philippines. <br><br>Japan was preparing to defend the Philippines with everything it had. Japan’s main air force was stationed on the island of Formosa, which is just 350 miles north of Luzon. Japan had the world’s largest navy, which was anchored in the Philippines. Japan had the world’s largest ground army, which was stationed on the island of Kyushu and would be transported by Japan’s navy to the Philippines. <br><br>Japan was planning to use suicide pilots to attack the U.S. West Coast. Japan was planning to use suicide swimmers to attack the U.S. fleet in the Philippines. Japan was preparing to use gas against the U.S. invasion of the Philippines. <br><br>Truman knew all of this. He was also aware that Japan had a large army in China. Japan was prepared to use this army to attack the U.S. if Japan was able to capture the Philippines. <br><br>Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki before the U.S. invaded the Philippines. This is the reason he dropped the atomic bomb, as he would have known that Japan was preparing to use the Philippines as an air base to attack the U.S. West Coast and as he wanted to defeat Japan before Japan was able to capture the Philippines. <br><br>Japan had the largest army and navy in the world at the time. The Japanese army was larger than the U.S. army, which was the largest in the world at the time. The Japanese navy was larger than the British navy, German navy and U.S. navy combined. <br><br>The U.S. had already lost a large number of sailors and aegis guided missiles to the Japanese navy. The Japanese navy was well-trained, well-led, and had more ships than the U.S. navy. <br><br>The Japanese army had defeated every army it had fought. Japan had defeated the Soviet army in Manchuria in 1939. Japan defeated the Chinese army in Shanghai in 1932. Japan defeated the British army in Singapore in 1942. Japan defeated the Indian army in Bengal in 1942. <br><br>The Japanese army had defeated every army in the world with the exception of the U.S. army. Japan was planning to use the Philippines as a stepping stone to attack the U.S. West Coast. <br><br>Truman dropped the atomic bomb to prevent Japan from using the Philippines to attack the U.S. West Coast. There is no other logical explanation.
