What was truman's reason for dropping the atomic bomb?

a) to show the entire world that the united states was a powerful country
b) to totally wipe out the japanese population
c) to bring the war in the pacific to a swift end
d) to be the first allied nation to use the atomic bomb

I believe the correct answer choice is option C. To bring the war in the Pacific to a swift end.

President Harry S. Truman issued to some of his main advisers that if that war MUST end, he'll end it with a catastrophic scenario. On August 6, 1945, Truman had the bomb dropped to end the war swiftly.

Hope I could help! :)
