A) To show the entire world that the United States was a powerful country
B) To totally wipe out the Japanese population

D) To be the first Allied nation to use the atomic bomb

Answer 1

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! :)
