The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with nuclear weapons to shorten the war with Japan . The cities were purposely targeted because they had significant military and industrial resources which made them both eligible for targeting by General Curtis LeMay who was head of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) .
