The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was done to bring the war to a speedy conclusion, because the USSR had just declared war on Japan 3 weeks earlier, and it was feared that the USSR would take over Japan as it had taken over eastern Europe, if they were allowed to get too heavily involved. It should be noted that there is still one small island of the Japanese chain that is occupied by Russia, even in 2009, long ofter the end of both WW II and the Cold War. This remains a bone of contention between Japan and Russia.
