The primary reason for the use of atomic bombs against Japan near the end of World War II was to force Japan to accept the terms of an unconditional surrender to the United States. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 aimed to bring a swift end to the war and avoid a potentially costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. The use of these bombs was intended to demonstrate overwhelming military power and compel Japan to surrender without further fighting.
