One simple word, desperation. After the U.S soldiers drove the Japanese out of the Asia-Pacific area, the Japanese Empire still refused to surrender. The United States was hell...very pissed. Because for one, Japan would have probably invaded the mainland U.S and not stop. So yeah, the nuke was a last resort.

The US and Japan had been at war for several years, Japan having started it. Japan has refused to surrender. After two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, they surrendered.
