Harry S. Truman, the 32nd President of the United States of America, gave the order to drop the atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both major cities in Japan. That order was relayed by the War Department on July 25, 1945, only nine days after the "Fat Man" type bomb was successfully tested at Alamagordo, New Mexico, and one day before the "Potsdam Proclamation". "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
After hard-line factions in the Japanese government tried to keep the war going, Emperor Hirohito of Japan formally surrendered in a public address on August 15, 1945, ending the war between the U.S.A. and Japan.
President Truman gave the Air Force Generals the go ahead to use the bomb since it was clear the Japanese Military Leaders would fight to the death rather than surrender. He wanted to spare the lives of millions of Japanese people and the people of the Allied Forces (Soviet Union Included).
