The statement that best captures the historical context regarding the use of the atomic bomb is:
"The Allies only wanted to use the bomb as a last resort to end the war."
This reflects the perspective that the atomic bomb was seen as a means to bring a swift conclusion to World War II, particularly in the Pacific theater, and to avoid the potentially higher casualties of a land invasion of Japan.
