    B. To save American lives by ending the war sooner

    Explanation:

    Ending the war quickly would prevent Russian participation in the fighting and expansion into parts of Asia. In the Potsdam Declaration, issued on July 26, 1945, the United States made a call for the unconditional surrender of Japan. Japan's rejection of the demand led to final order to proceed with atomic bombing.
