Are most events told in Untold History of the US in Netflix as drastic as they are portrayed?

I understand America hasn’t always been the good guy, but this documentary takes it to another level. I understand there’s a lot of information covered on there so I’ll focus on three things. The use of nuclear bombs on Japan. The doc states that the USA intelligence agency had conducted a study which declared that japan would have surrendered without the use of nuclear bombs because they were scared of dealing with the soviets. Is there still a debate whether using the bombs would have saved American lives or is that just misinformation?

How popular was Wallace? I’m surprised I’ve never heard of him. He sounds like a 40s Bernie sanders. It sounds like he had a lot of support but it was due to in party opposition that he lost it.

Was there any reason to overthrow mossedeq in Iran other than fear of communism ?

It looks like Japan was ready to come to the negotiating table but not necessarily ready to surrender
