In World War 2; The United States, England, and China had given an ultimatum to Japan stating that they surrender or face "prompt and utter destruction". This was called the Potsdam Declaration. When the declaration was refused, president Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima and [3 days later] Nagasaki.
