They dropped the atomic bomb to end the war and stop further allied lives being lost.
The USA only had 2 atomic bombs.
The use of the bomb was necessary. Japan was getting overconfident in their abilities after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. If Truman did not drop the atomic bomb, many more people would have been killed as a result of the ensuing battle.

The regular bombings of Tokyo killed just as many people as the atomic bombs. The use of the atomic bombs were to motivate the Japanese populous to demand the Emperor and the Military stop the war. The Japanese did realize the US had weapon superiority and could wipe out Japan. The atom bomb dropping took less people to deliver the bomb and no loss of life to deliver the bomb. The conventional bombings took many more planes and airmen with some loss of planes and lives.
