  • Summary

  • The US admittedly firebombed about 117 Japanese cities of its mainland. The aim was to burn down civilian and military structures including homes, and any civilian infrastructure. It must have been known that these firebombing campaigns would bring massive civilian casualties, yet it was carried through with full support from the US leadership and overwhelming support from the US public. Over 300 thousand mostly civilian casualties are officially recorded. But the true death toll may top 1 million. These deaths are in addition to the military (and civilian) deaths accrued during the brutal US campaigns against Japan in the pacific. The indiscriminate, terrorist, illegal, cruel, and woefully disproportionate attacks on mainly civilian populations of Japanese cities was unjustified and deserve recognition, official apology, and renewed commitments not to ever be allowed again.
