One of the most controversial turning points in history was the decision made by U. S. President, Harry S. Truman, to use atomic weapons on Japan, the lone remaining Axis Power at the conclusion of World War II.

In your opinion, was the decision to drop atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki necessary? Explain.

Today, historians continue to debate this decision. Was there another way to end the war?

If you were President Truman in 1945, would you have dropped the bomb?

By August, 1945, Japan had lost World War II.  Japan and the United States both knew it.  How long would it be, however, before Japan surrendered?  Japan was split between surrender or fighting to the end.  They chose to fight.

In mid-July, President Harry S Truman was notified of the successful test of the atomic bomb, what he called “the most terrible bomb in the history of the world.”  Thousands of hours of research and development as well as billions of dollars had contributed to its production.  This was no theoretical research project.  It was created to destroy and kill on a massive scale.  As president, it was Harry Truman’s decision if the weapon would be used with the goal to end the war.  “It is an awful responsibility that has come to us,” the president wrote.
