The decision to drop the atomic bomb was to end WWII quickly.

The bomb dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima full filled the first intended goal of Truman's agenda. This was to save American lives that would be lost from a Japanese mainland invasion. The next reason was a show power as the WW2 was coming to a close, the Cold War had begun and the Soviets were intimidated by this weapon of mass destruction.

When someone asks was it necessary to drop the bomb? Its a very debatable topic therefore, I'm saying it was Truman's agenda on why he dropped the bomb. This is not my opinion on me defending why the US had to drop the bomb.
