Also, here's a Foreign Policy article explaining that it wasn't the nuclear bombing that defeated Japan. That's just a propaganda narrative US invented to try and justify this crime against humanity https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/30/the-bomb-didnt-beat-japan-stalin-did/

The best explanation I have heard:
The USA had developed two new types of bomb, at huge expense and huge effort. Having built them, there was a desire to use both of them before the war ended.
