Harry S. Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan caused great
conflict between him and officials within the U.S. government and the
scientific community. This decision was also a compromise that helped to end
World War II.
The conflict between Harry S. Truman and the decision to drop the atomic bomb was that most of the American population was against dropping the bomb, so gathering supporters was tough. Also, there were many things in the way of the bombing, including a set-up and a group of scientists against the bombing itself. The Compromise was that by using the atomic bomb, we sacrificed less people to win the war, and possibly even saved the entire Japanese race. The bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941 |
