To end a very long and ugly war without the same kind of invasion and occupation that we're bogged down in over in Iraq.
Taking and holding a nation consisting of many large and small islands would have taken, by most estimates, three more years and hundreds of thousands of US lives.
The Second World War was the first Atomic War. The pity is that it most likely won't be the last.

All bombs are made for blowing things up. in this case small package really big boom.
The decision to drop it on Japan was made by president Truman, after projected US and Japanese loss of life invading the home islands of Japan where unacceptably high.
The target cities chosen where of military value but also led to catastrophic loss of civilian life. However even with the incredible collateral damage using these weapons saves a lot of lives, but lead to a lot of health problems for the survivors and their heirs.

It was made to beat the Germans in the race for the nuclear weapon. Hitler outwitted us, however, and was defeated before we could use it against him. The sole remaining antoganist was left holding the bull eye for the weapon.

To end the war before the Nazi's won it by making their own.
But the Nazi's surrendered before it was finished, so it was used to force the Japanese surrender.

To blow things up. Duh.
But I think we really expected to use it on Germany. We knew that they were also working on one.
