How Did Truman Dropped The Atomic Bomb On Japan

President Truman felt after weighing the outcomes of what else could have been done, he chose the most effective one. In my opinion, he chose the right way to use the atomic weapon. He had to think about his people over the enemy’s citizens. Truman did his best to not harm a well-known

In conclusion, it does not matter the decision of Truman to order the dropping of atomic bombs was right or wrong. It matters how effective that decision in ending the war and saving lives of soldiers. And history proved it. With those two atomic bombs, the

Our men, or theirs? This is the decision president Harry S. Truman was left with; drop the bomb or continue with an invasion. World War 2 had been dragging on for several years when President Truman decided to drop the first Atomic Bomb over Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. This devastating weapon brutally murdered 75,000 Japanese civilians in an instant. Although it has been 70 years since the bombs were dropped, there is still question on whether or not the right decision was made. President Truman was wrong to drop the Atomic Bomb because it killed thousands of ignorant civilians and was unnecessary for victory.

WWII was one of the deadliest wars in history. The war was ended only when the United States introduced the atomic bomb to the world and destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. A lot of controversy surrounds the decision made by President Truman to drop the bombs on Japan. The casualties were high and many were civilians, and with this it breeds the following question: Was it the right decision? Could there have been something else the United States could have done before going to such extreme measures? The decision to bomb the Japanese wasn’t an easy one and although the right decision was made it had more to do with political, ethical, and military reasoning than morality.

On August 6th 1945, the United States, led by Harry Truman, decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, forever changing warfare. This paper will be dedicated to why Harry Truman decided to use the atomic bomb on Japan and the effects that this decision had on humanity afterward.

President Truman made the best decision he could have when he chose to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII. When you ask any historian whether or not Truman was right to drop the atomic bomb, you’re asking one of the most debated questions among them. This may seem like it should have a simple yes or no answer, but if you look deeper than the surface level, you’ll see it’s a lot more complex than that. Some think he was wrong to drop the bomb, and morally he was. However when you put yourself in the shoes of a president protecting your country and look at the war from a political and strategic viewpoint, you begin to realize he was right for dropping the bomb.

Few events in world history have made a global impact on humanity as the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The decision to drop the bombs made by Harry S. Truman, the newly sworn in commander-in-chief after the death of Franklin Roosevelt, has been one scrutinized not only for the destruction of the act, but also in itself for the actual motive of the decision. Was the decision to use the Atomic Bombs one to quickly end the war to save American lives, or did Truman do his best to prevent Soviet influence in East Asia, to try and scare the Soviet Union from making any kind of territorial claims in Japan? Because there is ample evidence for both points of view, it's impossible to declare one to be the case. While both sides have good evidence, it's likely Truman made his decisions not only to end the war quickly, but to also avoid massive casualties on both sides, and to intimidate the Soviets. This was the genius of Truman's actions, it was able to end the war that was destroying the globe's nations for nearly six years, while also preventing another war from occurring in the future, and to keep peace in the process. As far as today, there has been no atomic warfare

There have been many controversies in world history. Like if the Soviets instigated the six day war to destroy Israel 's nuclear power plants or if the South Koreans provoked the North Koreans to invade them to spark the Korean War. Maybe the biggest controversy of all time was if President Truman was actually justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Japan. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president from the beginning of World War Two and had to deal with a lot of the war. Shortly after the Pearl Harbor attacks Japan came at the United States with everything they had, attempting to cripple us once and for all. What they didn’t know was that, even though the United States were vastly outnumbered, they had also deployed everything they had, aircraft carriers, planes and battle ships. This was known as the Battle of Midway and after four days of fighting, the U.S. were able to cripple the Japanese well enough that they retreated. The United States destroyed four carriers, a heavy cruiser and more than 200 planes (Poolos). After this battle the U.S. had been taking different islands and been setting up command bases on them, which was called, island hopping. In the Pacific The United States had just taken the perfect island that would allow us to have good positioning to lead an attack on Japan. The United States had the Japanese pinned down. Franklin Delano Roosevelt health got so bad during his presidency on April 12th, 1945 he died. Immediately his vice president

During WW2 Truman, the United States President at the time, was asked to make one the toughest decision in History. Choosing between dropping an atomic bomb or invading are both choices that will result in a lot of deaths. The huge diffrence between the two was who died wether it be the Japanese with the bomb, or the American soldiers with the invasion. Trumans decision was supposed to end the war sooner, hence reducing the amount of agony,deaths, stress or any other negative effects that could result in the continous war. Truman's decision on dropping the Atomic Bomb's was an efficient course of action for the Americans, but was deffinantly not the most educated decision. If I had been placed in Truman's shoes and had to make this

President Harry Truman determined to release nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the optimum decision of circumstances that supported the surrender of Japan in World War 2. Many arguments will doubt the atomic bombs had made results any better. While, the other handful of individuals, supporting Truman’s authorization, have considerable justification. Toss away the reasons for disagreement and contemplate the motives that lead descending atomic bombs as the right choice of a weapon.

Truman was right to drop the atomic bomb, rather than invade Japan. Invading japan would have cost one million u.s. casualties and one million plus japan casualties. If Truman would have invaded Japan the Japanese Soldiers and civilians would fight to the death rather than be captured. Truman was right to drop the atomic bomb because, saved lives ,and was humane. Additionally, Truman was right to drop the atomic bomb because it saved lives.

President Truman did the right thing about dropping the Atomic Bomb. Truman wanted to end the war because the American soldiers were losing their lives. Before Truman dropped the Atomic bomb, he warns Japan he was going to drop it if they don’t surrender. Japan still doesn’t surrender, after warning Japan, he drops the Atomic bomb and nearly kills about 84,000 people, 14,000 people injured and over 250,000 building destroyed. The Atomic bomb made a “Mushroom clouds” the ashes from the atomic bomb was so high you couldn’t even see the light. When the bomb dropped it was very hot and people kept breathing hot air. Many people were left with burn marks and with mental issues because of what they saw.

The decision to use the atom bomb had a few moral dilemmas for President Truman. Some of these were unleashing a new massive destructive weapon for the first time that would take the lives of thousands, but this would possibly end the war. On April 12, 1945 President Roosevelt suddenly died and Harry Truman became the president of the United States. Just after becoming president Germany had just been defeated ending the war in Europe.

As the war came to an end Truman had two main choices on how to finish the war, either drop the atomic bombs on military and civilian target, invade the Japanese mainland or drop the bomb on an uninhabited island as a warning. There were two different less consired options the first being the idea to demonstrate the power of the nuclear bomb by dropping it on an uninhabited island however this option was quickly shut down as advisors stated, “We can propose no technical demonstration likely to end the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use.” The second less considered option was to warn Japan before dropping the bomb on a Japanese city however like like a demonstration this was shut down quickly, “There was no assurance that the bomb would work’... They too feared that a warning, followed by a “dud” might stiffen Japan’s moral. There was no reason policy makers concluded, to take this risk.”

I think Truman made a right decision on dropping the atomic bomb on Japan. If he didn't made that decision the war against Japan would have been lasted for another year and the causalities for both side would have been increased. We would have been wasted more money, resources and lives. By the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan; the number of death people was less and it stopped the war and the resources of Japan to fight.
