Best Answer

The major achievement of Harry S. Truman was forcing Japan to surrender in 1945, through the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. President Truman assisted in the founding of the United Nations, recognized Israel when it declared itself a nation, and oversaw the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and the creation of NATO in 1949.

Truman became president after Roosevelt died from polio. America was drawing near to the end of World War Two at this time (1945). Truman was the one who made the final decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two of Japan's big cities. This decision made the Japanese surrender, and the war came to a close, finally.
