To save millions more lives that would have been spent in a drawn out conventional war with imperial Japan, the scientists in the United States (ahead of Nazi Germany, who was also working on the atomic bomb) created the bomb to escalate the war with Japan. They ignored the first bomb dropped on Hiroshima, but the Empire of Japan decided they could not win and surrendered to the US shortly after a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
