Why did President Harry S. Truman decide to use nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War ll?

Truman did not seek to destroy Japanese culture or people; the goal was to destroy Japan's ability to make war. So, on the morning of August 6, 1945, the American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped the world's first atom bomb over the city of Hiroshima.

After the Potsdam declaration, the Allies urged Japan to surrender, or face destruction. The Japanese government promptly ignored the order, so Harry S. Truman ordered the nuclear bombs to be dropped.
