On the day of 1945, President Harry Truman obviously hinted at the Soviet Prime Minister Joseph Stalin that the United States developed a new weapon. In his diary, Truman personally stated a new weapon - atomic bomb, the worst bomb in the world history.
On July 16, 1945, the United States successfully tested the world 's first atomic weapons near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Truman accepted the news in Potsdam, Germany, during the Second World War, discussed the policy of Winston Churchill in Britain and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and Europe II. On July 17, Truman told Churchill that this test was successful, and until Truman first wanted Stalin to agree to participate in the Pacific War of Allied troops, to Trullman's so-called explosive news to Stalin I agreed to postpone the negotiation of. The string is fine
On July 25, after Truman promised Stalin to participate in the Japan-US Pacific War, the leaders of the Soviet casually told the US that there is a new weapon with special destructive power in the United States. Stalin seems not impressed with the news, but this information hopes to raise the pressure that Stalin will allow Allied forces in Europe's division after World War II.
In the diary on July 25th, Truman wrote that new weapons will be used against Japanese military targets by 10th August. He specifically mentioned avoiding women and children, I thought it certainly was a good thing for Hitler's crowd and Stalin's world. This atomic bomb was not found
After all, Truman does not need help of the Soviet Union of the Pacific. On August 6, 1945, a week before the Soviet Union joined combat operations, Truman ordered the first atomic bomb dropdown in Hiroshima, Japan. Two days later, he approved to throw the second atomic bomb in Nagasaki. Despite controversy over the total number of victims, government statisticians of both Japan and the United States at least 140,000 men, women and children died immediately with two explosions, and in 1950 an additional 74,000 Died from bomb-related radiation.
In the victory of the allies, Truman went to Europe to attend the Potsdam Conference. He was there when he learned that the first atomic bomb trinity test was successful on July 16th. He implied that Joseph Stalin, America is trying to use a new type of weapon against Japan. This was the first time Soviet officially got information about atomic bombs, but Stalin knew that the bomb project had already known this before Turmen (through spying activities).
When Harry S. Truman told Stalin that there was a new powerful bomb in America, he looked very happy and did not ask any further questions. Truman did not mention that it was an atom bomb, and it seems that Stalin did not recognize the importance of this new weapon. However, with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the Japanese army immediately surrendered and the Allies succeeded in preventing the Soviet harvest in the Far East. The main concern of Stalin for Potsdam was economic assistance of the Soviet Union. About a quarter of the Soviet property was destroyed during the Second World War. This includes 31,000 factories. Agriculture has also suffered serious blows and food is severely restricted. His adviser to Stalin said that labor shortage of nutrients led to reduced productivity. He believes that the best way to restore the Soviet economy is to receive massive compensation from Germany.
