Don't forget the fire bombing of Tokyo, I think they killed around 100K civilians in a city where most of the houses were made of wood and paper.

Around 100K casualties in this bombing only and over 1M became homeless. That's next level evil along with the atomic bombs for sure. And I don't find any justification for any of those bombings.

    In Tokyo it's because the Japanese didn't have conventional factories; the people would make weapons and other things for the army in their homes, so Tokyo was basically a giant military factory. Of course whether that justifies the fire bombing is another story, but yeah that's the reason.
