The car idea is great, but I was also thinking of the Nuclear Bomb (H-Bomb), but I may do the car thing, I believe I can get alot out of it!

Do something that's fun and little more involved than a nuclear bomb. That's too easy.
The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.

On nukes... as brutal as they were in japan, a full on assault of the main island would have been far, far more brutal and both sides knew that (japan was relying on it). In reality the nukes were the reason Japan was able to rebuild so quickly and become the economic powerhouse they are today.

Wait, you just justified genocide in what, 75 words? Jeezzz.
Personally I think attacking the civil population is never an option, particularly not when the country in question doesn't have a lot of natural resources so you could easily do a siege of the islands. Primitive as well and would've taken more time, but would've worked without all the nasty nuclear side effects for Japan, and not in the least for the children.

Oh wow that's a pretty hard thing to write a decent argument for. Because technology, by definition, can not do any harm- but almost anything can be harmful if it's in the wrong hands. I mean, you can kill someone with a pillow.
With that being said though, R3's automobile argument is about your best bet. Specifically, (to not dig yourself into a hole) you should argue against PERSONAL automobiles, rather than ones used specifically for transportation of goods.

Attacking civilians was an option in WW2, regardless of whether nukes were involved or not. If it wasn't nukes, it would have been carpet bombings and shellings. Except those wouldn't have inflicted enough fear fast enough and the damage to the country would have been much more extensive, with the potential for even more loss of life.
How many lives do you think would have been saved if the nuke had come a few years earlier, and had been used against Germany? Millions.

What about social media and the youth (combined ofc).
|
Social media is solely responsible for the pro-democracy push sweeping across the middle east and north africa right now, and as long as social media continues to grow the revolutions will continue to spread (China will be on the chopping block as soon as their economic bubble bursts). I'd classify that as being pretty damn good, and I can hardly think of any relevant first world problems it causes besides "it's annoying"
It helps put power exactly where it belongs, in the hands of the people

They were carpeting bombing cities because otherwise they wouldn't hit shit. If there where nazi HQ in a city it was easier to bomb the entire city centre than to try and hit 3 buildings from 3 or more km high.
I think Japan would've surrendered in the end anyway, even without land invasion. Why? Because Japan does not have a lot of natural resources and would need to get everything from either the sea or overseas. No need to go on land. Just block the ports and airfields.
Would've taken somewhat more time, but would've been perfectly possible and the Japan army would've run out of oil rather fast as long as they where performing manoeuvres.
