Best Answer

It was revenge because of the amount of power the bomb utilized. The US at the time was unaware of all the side effects caused by the bomb but considered the Axis too dangerous to deal with gingerly after Pearl Harbor. Upon the dropping of the two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Japanese and Germans immediately surrendered. It was also due to the outcry of the American people that the Japanese needed to pay for what they did.
