If Japan refused the Allied terms of surrender, President Truman planned to use military force, including the potential deployment of atomic bombs, to compel Japan to capitulate. This decision was influenced by the desire to end the war quickly and minimize further Allied casualties. Ultimately, Truman sought to demonstrate the overwhelming power of the United States and secure a swift conclusion to the conflict in the Pacific.
