By the end of WWII Japan was already on their knees, after having lost every island in the Pacific... But the reason(s) that the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that an invasion of Mainland Japan which was still heavily fortified would cost perhaps millions of Americans lives so, President Truman after considering this ordered the bomb(s) to be dropped, the first one on Aug. 6, the second on Aug. 9.
