The motive of the US for bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to end the war with Japan rapidly, before the Soviet Union had a chance to become heavily involved and seize Japanese territory, as it had seized many nations in eastern Europe already, and one small Japanese island (which remains under Russian control even today, after the end of the Cold War).

Why did the United States drop the atomic bombs?

The U.S. Dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan because our president beleived that it would save lives in the long run. (especially American lives) Also no one knew the after effects that the radiation would cause because it was never tested over a long period of time. The reason We dropped them where we did and not any where else is because Hiroshima and Nagasaki (sorry on spelling if i messed up) had a large enough population to impact the Japanese but also had major war industries.
