Historians are still divided over whether it was necessary to drop the atomic bomb on Japan to end World War II. Here is a summary of arguments on both sides:

Immediate use of the bomb convinced the world of its horror and prevented future use when nuclear stockpiles were far larger.

Would there have been a larger nuclear conflict between USA and CCCP if Japan was never nuked?
