What did Harry Truman do as head of state?
Harry Truman was a President of the US. He was originally a Senator for Missouri who became Franklin Roosevelt's Vice President in 1945. Roosevelt died not long after this and not long before World War II ended in Europe. It was Harry Truman's decision to drop the two atomic bombs on Japan and end the war in the Pacific. Truman had a mixed reputation during his presidency and a lot of his proposals were rejected by Congress. Furthermore, America suffered from economic problems in the aftermath of the war, such as shortages and strikes. In 1948 he appeared to be doomed to lose the election to Thomas Dewey, but he won. The result was so unexpected that the Chicago Tribune famously ran the wrong headline. By 1952, he had lost his popularity due to corruption amongst senior members of his cabinet and White House staff. Truman was a supporter of Civil Rights and ordered desegregation of the millitary, but achieved very little due to fierce opposition from Democrats in the Southern states. Truman's presidency also saw great changes abroad. He oversaw the founding of the United Nations and NATO, the Marshall Plan to assist Western Europe, the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War. He died in 1972.
