    Why Truman Had the Right to Drop the Atomic Bomb

    The decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan in August of 1945 was made by a complex group of technological, political and military influences. History has it that the bombs were dropped in order to save American lives by avoiding the invasion of Japanese homelands, at least, that was what President Truman told the American public at the time. “For years, this simple view has been challenged by a seemingly more sophisticated academic perspective that the bombs were wrongfully used against innocent civilians, did not genuinely factor into the surrender of Japan, and would have better served the war effort as part of a diplomatic “carrot and stick” package.” (Beason 1). Some argue that the first bomb may have been required to achieve Japanese surrender, but the second one was a needless act of barbarism. According to Admiral William D. Leahy, the President’s Chief of Staff, “The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war over Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender…” (Beason 1). However, I have many facts to counteract all of these criticisms and to support President Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bomb.…

    World War II DBQ

    In the early 1920s, as World War I ended, nations looked for peace as an outlet and hope for the future. As time passed, most countries were happy that the Great War had ended, however they were upset with the outcome. Since there were many costly expenses from the war, it caused many of the hostile nations to look for strong rulers for change. This allowed many harsh dictators to rise to power. These dictators were aggressive rulers and took forceful actions. In order to combat these aggressive rulers, other nations tried to resist war and give in to their demands. This type of action was known as appeasement. Not all countries felt the same way about this response; other countries believed that a collective security would work better.…

    World War II: Article Analysis

    The United States has actually not declared war since World War II. In Article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power,"to declare war [and] grant letters of marque and reprisal."(archives.gov) But Article II,Section 2 provides that,"The president shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." (fed-soc.org) While it's clear that the intended action for Congress alone to declare war, presidents don’t necessarily act with them but rather on their own will and belief. Truth be told as well, many events were presidents acted on their own have occoured. For example, after President Harry Truman bypassed Congress to go to war in Korea, presidents have paid almost no attention to the constitutional requirements.…

    Us in World War Ii

    When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the United States knew that another World War was coming on. After World War I America decided that they did not want to be involved in another war due to the devastation that it had caused before. However President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided differently. With competing views among the isolationists and the interventionists, FDR concluded that the only way for the Great Depression to end was to become involved in another war. The Great Depression destroyed the economies of the United States and Europe. Economies were struggling worldwide and were running out of options. The outcome of World War I “led to a major repositioning of world power and influence.” This shift in power towards the United States laid the grounds for the emergence of totalitarian governments in Europe. Since World War I, the struggle for world power became a popular subject among governments. World War II exemplifies the power struggle among Germany, Italy, and Japan and also gave American political leaders such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman the chance to prove their true leadership abilities domestically and internationally.…
