The Allies decided to drop the atomic bomb primarily to bring a swift end to World War II and avoid a prolonged and costly invasion of Japan, which was expected to result in significant casualties on both sides. Additionally, the bomb was seen as a means to demonstrate military power, particularly to the Soviet Union, in the post-war landscape. The decision was also influenced by Japan's refusal to accept unconditional surrender despite heavy losses. Ultimately, the goal was to save lives and expedite the conclusion of the war.
