Harry Truman

Truman wanted to avoid invasion of Japan because he knew that there would be massive Japanese civilian loss. The Japanese philosophy was that it was treasonous to be captured and that it was a religious sin for non-Japanese to be allowed to invade their country.

He made many decisions, military & diplomatic, related to ending the war with Japan. One of the most famous, was the final decision to approve the use of the newly invented atomic bombs against the Japanese before the planned Allied invasion of the Japan home islands.

He was faced with the choice of using the Bomb or of ordering a conventional invasion of mainland Japan, which The Pentagon estimated would cost up to a million Allied lives. Because the number of casualties in the Far East had already been horrifically high, and because the Japanese military were known to be extremely cruel to their captors, he regarded the conventional option as unacceptable.

The Truman Doctrine was the American policy aimed at stopping the spread of communism in Europe and the world. It ended sometime around the end of the Cold War, in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Truman was upset by the fact returning black soldiers were beaten and treated badly plus the Soviet Union was trying to become the champion of equality and the US had to show that democracy could be equal.

In his defence if he would have used soldiers to invade you would see alot, upwards of 200,000, more deaths on the american side, so it was certainly called for but i could see why anyone would be against it seeing as though 90,000 civilians in japan were killed i hope this helped

In 1950, long before the Vietnam war began, Truman gave aid to the French in their fight against the Vietminh. President Eisenhower upped the ante after the French defeat at Dien Binh Phu by providing military advisors to help train the South Vietnamese Army.

Harry S. Truman did many important things during his life. He was a military colonel, senator, Vice-President, and President. However, the most historically important thing he did may have been his decision to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan in 1945.

The Truman Doctrine was the US policy of trying to contain the spread of communism

Harry S Truman is famous because he came after Franklin Roosevelt. He is also famous because he was the one who ordered the atomic bombs to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagaski. The dropping of the bombs ended world war 2.

Truman's statement emphasizes the importance of collaboration and selflessness in achieving goals. By prioritizing the collective success over personal recognition, individuals can foster teamwork and drive progress more effectively. This mindset encourages innovation and problem-solving, as people feel empowered to contribute without the constraints of ego or competition. Ultimately, it highlights that true leadership often lies in enabling others to shine rather than seeking the spotlight oneself.

Harry Truman was the oldest child in his familiy.

There were probably several notable political achievements of Harry Truman. He first came to the attention of the nation when he headed a congressional committee investigating government waste during World War II. That attention convinced FDR to make Truman his running mate in 1944. While having little executive experience, he proved a remarkably capable chief executive, educating himself on domestic and foreign affairs. FDR had left Truman out of his inner circle and, for instance, Truman did not even know about the development of the Manhattan Project until he became President. Truman successfully ended the war in Europe and Japan and stood up to the Soviets by creating the Truman Doctrine. He also approved the Marshall Plan which was one of the most successful foreign relations accomplishment in history. Truman was convinced that by standing up to the Soviets he had saved the world from another war and stopped the spread of communism. At home, he continued the New Deal programs of FDR (called the Fair Deal during his term) and made progress on Civil Rights by integrating the armed forces. His eulogy was, "He did his damndest."

as the power of capitalism increased in europe....stalins power in soviet union decreases

Much more than you can imagine. Probably $1000-50,000. I suggest you start an auction if you have it.

Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarty accused George C. Marshall, Truman's Secretary of Defense, of allowing China to become a communist nation. Marshall had been involved in American foreign policy with China, and McCarthy charged that Marshall was directly responsible for the loss of China to Communism

FDR was a democrat.

No. Truman was from Missouri.

The US was by far the least helpful in ending WW2. If you want to know the truth Hitler actual invented the atomic bomb with a hoard of radioactive super weezles. The quickly dropped 2 atomic bobs on Japan because they were Germanys biggest threat. They planned to drop 5 on russia but the weezles refused to make more.

then quickly after Germany did this US took credit.

Ok there are two answers you could names you could call Harry S Truman's wife, Bess Truman or this is her full name Elizabeth Virginia Truman.

Harry S. Truman's first political position--an appointed position, not an elected one--was that of a road overseer in Jackson County, Missouri, a job that he took over from his father. His first seriously entered politics in 1922, when, recruited by representatives of the Pendergast political machine, he ran for and was elected as Eastern Judge of the Jackson County Court, an administrative body that today is known in Missouri as the County Commission.
