The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 were primarily aimed at hastening the end of World War II by forcing Japan to surrender unconditionally. The United States sought to avoid a prolonged and bloody invasion of the Japanese mainland, which was expected to result in significant casualties on both sides. Additionally, the bombings were intended to demonstrate U.S. military power, particularly to the Soviet Union, in the post-war context. Ultimately, the bombings resulted in Japan's surrender and the end of the war.
