The reasons for justifying the use of the two atomic bombs on Japan in ww2 were to force a quick surrender from japan rather than go through a long drawn out battle. It worked, but the use of the weapons was, and still is highly contraversal due to the number of innocent lives that were taken.

Answer:

The use of nuclear weapons was a demonstration to the Russians that the US had atomic weapons and was willing to use them, even on a nation that was already negotiating for peace. By the end of the war it was apparent that the US and Russia would be adversaries in the future. The US wanted to demonstrate who had the big stick.
