Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen to see how much destruction would result from the A-bombs. Both cities had been unscathed by Allied bombings. Tokyo was not chosen because it had been bombed many times and the Allies needed a government to negotiate a surrender. However, had these two bombings not persuaded the Imperial Cabinet, rumor had it that #3 would have been dropped on Tokyo |
