What did Harry Truman Do During WW ll?

Answer 1

Harry S. Truman inherited the office of US President on April 12, 1945 when Franklin D. Roosevelt died.

Until Roosevelt's death, Truman, the "new kid," the "outsider," had been kept in the dark when it came to a great many matters of national security -- much to Truman's own liking! When FDR died, Harry S. Truman had been the vice president for just 79 days, and he knew nothing at all about most national security matters, including the status of the Manhattan Project, the American effort to develop the first atomic bombs.

Just three weeks after Truman assumed office as president, Germany collapsed and the war in Europe was essentially over.

But the Pacific war against the Japanese raged on.

As Commander in Chief of all the US armed forces, Truman assumed responsibility for the conduct of the war in all theaters, but he is mainly associated with the war in the Pacific. After the horrific losses on both sides in island campaigns on Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, and others, Truman decided to use the atomic weapons against Japan in an attempt to force the Japanese to end the war.

With Truman's blessing, the USAAF dropped "Little Boy" on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the first ever instance of an atomic weapon used in "anger." Three days later, on August 9, the USAAF dropped "Fat Man" on Nagasaki, the last such instance.

Truman presided over the end, practically and officially, of the Second World War.
Harry Truman was a member of the Senate from Missouri. He headed a committee that looked into price gouging of war contracts. In 1944 he was chosen as FDR's running mate for Vice-President. They were elected and when FDR died in 1945, Truman was sworn in as Commander-in-Chief. He was the President who made the decision to drop the A-Bomb and force Japan's unconditional surrender.
