Explanation / Answer

a. as the bombs were small and effected one city each, moreover the effect might have been over emphasised to gain symathy for the world's forst nuclear attack, firsch believes that the environmental impact of the bomb drop in japan has been overinflated

b. but he also believes that without using the A-Bomb, the allies had more options in conventional warfare and resource restriction to stop axis powers from war.
c. Also, since the japan had higher population density, lesser people would be effectedd if the bomb was dropped in germany Again this would mean the center for the political tension for the world war 2 would be targeted making more impact politically and hence the benifits of dropping bombs on germany could have outweighed the benifits of dropping bomb on japan
d. Again, if the ABomb on japan had failed, it would have given more motivation to japan to fight its way out of the war to protect its own people and hence war could have continued indefinitely
