Who was the major leader of the Soviet Union throughout the war?

Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union was the leader of Russia, and he did get much out of Roosevelt during conferences. He soon learned the basics of building an atomic bomb as Roosevelt was a bit loose with the subject. That lead to the Cold War in which there were enough atomic and nuclear bombs and missiles to destroy the globe, or the Earth.


What accounts for Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan?

There was no one specific event that caused Truman to decide to use the atomic bomb where, where without that event he would not have done so. The US and Japan were at war and were treating each other in what we would now call a barbarous fashion. The invasion of Iwo Jima had been much more difficult than expected and had resulted in extremely high US casualties. Military planners thought a conventional invasion of the Japanese Home Islands would result in over a million US casualties and lead to a protracted guerrilla war, with Japanese civilians fighting to the death, etc. That is the sort of calculation that lead to Truman agreeing to use the atomic bomb.
