To end the war without allowing Japan to keep much of the territory they had captured during the war. Japan was willing to end the war in the pacific as early as spring 1945, but only if they kept all the territory they had captured and the Allies return to Japan many of the islands the Allies had already won back. Baring that Japan was willing to fight (whether they could have is a different issue) until at least 1955 on the assumption that the "soft" US would get tired of the war and quit, allowing Japan to do anything they wanted and have anything they wanted in the pacific.

Why did Japan not surrender before the bombing?
Japan didn't surrender before the bombing because they wanted to get more favorable terms of surrender. The emperor wanted to maintain control of the nation and they did not want an occupation force that would keep them from building another military. On the other hand, the rest of the world did not want Japan to build their military and attack again, so the rest of the world required unconditional surrender. The Allies had already suffered enough loss during the war and did not want to send a million soldiers to their death in an invasion of Japan, so since the Emperor refused to surrender, the Allies used nuclear weapons to force compliance. There really was no other choice to President Truman at the time. The Japanese did not surrender because they had too much honor. Their emperor would not accept defeat and their people would fight to the death. They were not afraid and even after the bombs were dropped they didn't surrender. The Japanese surrendered because of the Soviet's threat to attack them.

Japan Did surrender to the USA, and President Harry Truman, after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, (and after Russia declared war on Japan). Japan did not want to surrender, because their samurai code said it was better to die instead of to surrender. It was after they were bombed with nuclear weapons (and after Russia attacked the Japanese forces in Manchuria), that Japan finally decided to surrender.
