The U.S. Dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan because our president beleived that it would save lives in the long run. (especially American lives) Also no one knew the after effects that the radiation would cause because it was never tested over a long period of time. The reason We dropped them where we did and not any where else is because Hiroshima and Nagasaki (sorry on spelling if i messed up) had a large enough population to impact the Japanese but also had major war industries.
