Harriet Truman, often confused with Harry Truman, was not a prominent historical figure. However, if you meant Harry S. Truman, he significantly contributed to the world by leading the United States during the final stages of World War II and making the controversial decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His presidency also marked the beginning of the Cold War through policies like the Truman Doctrine, which aimed to contain communism. Additionally, he championed civil rights initiatives and established the Marshall Plan to aid in the reconstruction of Europe.
