We had a unit on this subject in American history. The reason we dropped the bomb on japan was to end the war quickly and to save as many soldier casualties as possible. In my opinion it was a bad idea for it killed many more this way.
To avoid an invasion of Japan
No One.Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. The atomic bomb was invented in 1945. By this time there was no threat to Pearl Harbor.
The dropping of the two atomic bombs and the armed forces of Russia being near Japan motivated the Emperor of Japan to finally surrender. The Emperor realized that his country could be annihilated into oblivion if the Allied Forces invaded Japan. He had no idea the US had no more atomic bombs, but he did assume it.

Most people think so. Even the Japanese were grateful for the bomb because they were so tired of the war. President Truman believed the bomb will end the war sooner and save a lot of lives.
