Truman's main idea in authorizing the atomic bombings was to quickly end World War II with Japan and save lives that would have been lost in a potential invasion. This decision was influenced by the desire to avoid further casualties and demonstrate military superiority. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ultimately led to Japan's surrender on September 2, 1945, marking the end of the war.
