America, according to the history books, had no choice but to release two atomic bombs on Japan. Now, the alternative would have been to attempt an overtaking of Japans biggest islands, killing thousands of more people than the bombs did. Japan was not backing down after the first bomb fell; given the circumstances America issued another bomb to fall.
I hope this answers you question!
