>why do americans teach that this was justice act in school education?
they don't say it was an act of justice, they recognize that it was very bad, but they justify it as being a necessary sacrifice to prevent the deaths of millions of people (particularly Japanese), who with propaganda + zealous-nationalism would die to defend Japan and the emperor.
The conventional fire bombing of Tokyo killed tens of thousands of more people than either bomb, and was probably equally as effective in ending the war because the effect it had on the emperor seeing the destruction all around him (as his palace was intentionally left alone). It was just for the shock and awe effect, to convince the emperor he had no choice but to change his mind if he wanted to save his people from endless superbombs
If you think about it the whole thing was state-sponsored terrorism. We terrorized and scared the shit out of them into surrendering without much of a fight. Overall it was a good thing; that kind of spite and pride and spite in the face of certain defeat isn't good for anyone
