The only things America did that could have possibly provoked them is cutting of our trade with them, and limiting their oil supplies. Two necessary actions that should have been done peacefully. Considering this ended the dispute between the two countries, the bombings should not only consider it successful, but justified. To second the justification of the bombings, World War Two did not look like it was near end at the time. This war needed to end, for it was very costly in money and lives of the American people. The end of this war would have helped prevent another attack on U.S soil, which could have killed more innocent U.S citizens.
