One simple word, desperation. After the U.S soldiers drove the Japanese out of the Asia-Pacific area, the Japanese Empire still refused to surrender. The United States was hell...very pissed. Because for one, Japan would have probably invaded the mainland U.S and not stop. So yeah, the nuke was a last resort.
