By most approximations, there were about 200,000 causalities from the bombs and their aftermath.

That said, had the bombs not been dropped, estimates ran into the millions for Allied casualties and tens of millions for Japanese (civilian + soldiers) casualties.

Ultimately it boils down to an issue of numbers (achieved by expediency).

Had that exact question given to me before, but it was in the form of a closed book "pre-screening" written test.

I simply put down my pen, walked out of the room and told the recruiter if this company was hiring based on these type of questions I would be a terrible fit :)
