Best Answer

It was the fastest way to end a very brutal war with the least number of Allied casulties.

The alternative was to actually invade Japan itself with troops.

(By this time, Germany had already surrendered and V-E Day had already occured.)

The war in the Pacific was different than the war in Europe, and the Japanese approached military duties in a different way. In fact, Japanese officers would beat up their own soldiers during training.... get them into a battle, and they would either fight or be killed... they didn't believe in surrender. Thousands of Filipino and American soldiers were killed. It wasn't a "we'll trade you for an officer and a few soldiers" kind of war.
