Policy on Civil Rights. Truman supported Civil Rights and organised desegregation of the Armed Forces.

To provide economic aid for third-world nations after the second world war. But it was also used as a way for the united states to ensure that communism did not spread to poorer nations. In exchange for advice and aid, the third wolrd country would guarantee democracy over communism.

It was during the Truman administration that we say the rise of the McCarthyist paranoia in America, and the beginning of the Cold War, which was to prove so costly to America.

Woodrow Wilson played a huge role in determining if and when America would get involved in World War I. He also fought for the League of Nations to help avert another World War which won him the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize.

Harry S. Truman was president from 1945 to 1953. He was the 33rd U.S. President He also was the Vice President under President Roosevelt who succeeded Roosevelt after this president's death in 1945.

At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

Harry Truman was vice president under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. When FDR died, he became president. He was president that gave the order to use the nuclear bomb and to join the United Nations. The Chicago Tribune predicted he would lose the election and falsely wrote the headline saying that Dewey won the election.

September 22nd, 1862, when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and later this was built on by another order on January 1st, 1863. After these were signed, a couple of years passed and people quickly began to free slaves. Sometime in July of 1865, all the slaves in America had finally been set free.

1951, on the 11th of April.

Truman had been in the Missouri National Guard for two terms of service. When "Federalized" for service as part of the Army the Missouri National Guard becomes the 35th (Infantry) Division. Truman was a captain commanding an artillery battery. He was very proud of the fact that none of his men were killed, though they did see some action. Truman was the only Doughboy to ever become president. Eisenhower was in the Army during WWI, but spent the entire war in Pennsylvania, training troops at Camp Colt, and thought his career was ruined as a result. Franklin Roosevelt was not yet crippled by polio, but was serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, a civilian position. See "Related Links" below from some remarks from Paul Schaffer to the Whittier (California) Elks CLub, recalling the day when as a runer he carried a message to Captain Truman's Battery.

It could go either way. It doesn't necessarily need one, as the S doesn't stand for anything, but using a period would be more consistent compared to other presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Harry S. Truman served as the thirty-fourth Vice-President of the United States, between January 20, 1945 and April 12, 1945. He was 61 years old at the time.
