  1. The two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki inflicted about as much death as the Tokyto air raid. Wikipedia: An estimated 90,000 to 140,000 people in Hiroshima (up to 39 percent of the population) and 60,000 to 80,000 people in Nagasaki (up to 32 percent of the population) died in 1945.

  2. The U.S. Army estimated it would take up to one-million casualties in an invasion of the Japanese homeland! The Japanese warlords went so far in their maniacal zeal as to teach young girls how to use bamboo spears to kill American GIs! Sioldiers who had just defeated Nazi Germany in Europe were schedued to deploy to the Pacific. Truman decided to drop the bombs to avert certain American carnage.
