Secondary reasoning
A secondary reason to drop the bomb that a majority of people do not know about is to intimidate the USSR. Even though both countries were part of the Allies during the war, the Soviet Union was still a major communist state and the US, as a democracy despised them.
This would later lead to a cold war between two of the most powerful countries on the Earth. The Cold War was literally just two countries trying to get more weapons than the other. Each country was waiting for the other to launch the first strike, but neither ever did. The USSR is now known as Russia, and it is now a little friendlier to the USA.
