In what part of the world was World War 2 still being fought when Truman became President?

All of it. The wars in Europe and the Pacific did not end until after he was president. It was Truman who authorized the use of the Atomic Bombs on Japan.


President Nixon was the first president to apex?

Use Communist China's official name in public (APEX)


Did President Truman threaten to use the A-bomb upon USSR unless Stalin was to step down as their ruler and just leave it forever did he even consider saying it to that deranged despot?

No, Truman never even began to consider such a thing. Truman's main priority following the use of Atomic Bombs in WW2 was to see that they never be used again. In fact the only orderTruman ever issued on his own initiative (not just a continuation of orders and policies determined by FDR) during WW2 about the Atomic Bomb was to stop the bombing when Japan sent their intentions to surrender on August 14, 1945 (by this time Los Alamos had already finished the third Atomic Bomb and shipped it to San Fransisco, when it arrived in San Francisco on August 18, 1945 it was returned to Los Alamos because of Truman's order, instead of being flown to Tinian to prepare it to drop on Japan).Note: the Manhattan Project had the factories built and operating and production plans scheduled to make a total of 23 Atomic Bombs to drop on Japan before the end of 1945, if necessary. Not just the 2 used.
