The pros were that it ended WWII quickly after the bombs were dropped on Japan, saving potential American lives and costs of a land invasion, though it came at the huge financial cost of $2 billion and loss of 120,000 Japanese lives from the bombings as well as long term environmental and health issues from nuclear weapons.
