Of course what Bobpursley suggested fits in with your essay.
His first point is that the atomic bomb was available. No military force deliberately ignores a weapon that is effective and has been developed at a great cost of money.
The reasons that Truman dropped the bombs were:
It was an available and efficient (though horrific) weapon.
It would save thousands of American lives.
It would end a lengthy and deadly war much quicker than an invasion of Japan.
