Well there can be many different answers to this question but the one that makes the most sense to me is because the U.S. was very mad that Japan attacked the U.S. on IT'S soil (Pearl harbor) so the U.S. got so mad that they dropped a atomic bomb on Japan to end the war once and for all. Also they chose this over a land invasion because after they calculated the results they thought a land invasion would be too costly for both sides.

∙ 14y agoThe invasion of the Japanese mainland would have been very hard. The battle would have been fierce and hundreds of thousands of Americans would have lost their lives or been wounded in the fight. The Japanese had weapons caches all over the place. The US expected over 2 million casualties. The dropping of the bombs eliminated the need to conduct the invasion.
