Who was US President at beginning of the Cold War?

Truman actually gave the command to detonate the first nuclear weapon & he was the US president in office when man left the old world (conventional) and crossed into the atomic age in 1945. When that A-Bomb went off, the cold war began...even though the Soviets didn't get their bomb until 1949 (stolen from the US via spies).

Why did Harry Truman dislike Joseph Stalin?

At the end of World War Two, Poland was subjugated by the Soviet Union (Stalin). Poland had been an ally (on the winning side), never the less, it was treated by Stalin as an enemy. Stalin murdered much of the Polish military & civilian leadership and replaced them with communist puppets. Stalin was one of the most ruthless, dangerous, and murderous dictators in world history. Probably the least trustworthy person alive during Truman's Presidency.
