I know people had asked this before but I kept on getting different answers "why not?" "They had more civilians" "No, they had more soldiers" "No, America is greedy and dumb" "No, there is a military base there" "No, there isnt any military presence" "It was good for the future landing like a japanese version of d day"
I need an actual answer to this because youtube isnt giving me the answers and they always repeat themselves and take a long time to explain everything i already know. Unless there is a video that explains why they were chosen please comment.
because youtube isnt giving me the answers
Frankly, YouTube is a bad place for getting anything other than the basic outlines of events as they happen. For anything beyond that need, I'd advise looking elsewhere. We've a section of the FAQ (Atomic Bomb Targeting, in case your browser doesn't take you there automatically) devoted to this specific question, to which I shall add two more recent answers, this one as well as this one by u/restricteddata on the same matter. They also link some of their blog posts relating to target selection; I highly commend the whole blog to your attention for nuclear matters.
