Best Answer

History has already justified two important actions by US President Harry Truman. The atomic bomb attacks on Japan ending WW 2 was necessary as japan was dug in to defend any invasion. Millions of lives could have been lost in an invasion of Japan. As with Imo Jima in the Pacific Ocean, there was from Tokyo a "no surrender" policy. Also, Japanese "dedication" resulted in suicide attacks from Japanese air pilots. Reportedly, the US had already manufactured 1 million coffins in case there was an invasion of Japan. More people would have died in an invasion then by forcing Japan to surrender after being hit with two atomic bombs.As for the Korean War, Truman led the UN forces in counter attacking the North Korean invasion of South Korea.
