Truman's Blunder: The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb

Nuclear policy for Japan is closely related to the fear of Soviet expansion in Asia. Three months after Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945, American leaders strongly recognized that Russia agreed to participate in the war with Japan in Yalta (Fogelman, 124 ). During the US invasion of Japan scheduled for November 1, 1945, US officials expressed suspicions about the cooperative mission of Russia and Russia at the peace talks table. But the successful explosion of Alamogord changed everything.

Hiroshima's atomic bomb bomb has many reasons, President Truman faced a difficult decision to abandon its bomb. During the Second World War, the first atomic bomb landed on Hiroshima. If he drops a bomb, he will definitely kill about 200,000 Japanese and Hiroshima. Otherwise, he risks invading Japan, which brings more casualties and even more Japanese will die. - Bombing to Hiroshima On August 6, 1945, a B - 29 bomb called Inola Gay dropped 'bombs' in Hiroshima, Japan. Hiroshima was nearly annihilated, with an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 people died. Three days later, Nagasaki City in Japan threw a second, more powerful bomb and killed more than 100,000 people.
