Best Answer

The American atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki on the island of Hashia and Hiroshima on the island of Honshu.The purpose of dropping the bombs ranges from the noble sounding "to end the war more quickly" to the self serving "to show the Russians (an up and coming enemy of the USA) that the USA had bombs (more than just one) and wasn't afraid to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the pursuit of its policies."
