Explanation:

In 1945, United States President, Harry Truman hit Japan's two cities, Nagasaki and Hiroshima with atomic bombs. He dropped the bombs to prevent the Japanese ground invasion and to save to lives of American soldiers. Also it would cost them high, would be truly difficult to handle and would be extremely terrible, because Japanese attacks were so brutal and no country wanted to confront them one on one on ground. That is one of the many reasons why US president dropped atomic bombs on Japan's cities.
