dropping the atomic bomb

1. What factors have affected viewpoints on Truman's decision?

Some people say he made the wrong decision because it is immoral to stop the war by bombs and others believed that he shouldn't have used them because now they will be used in future wars. Only a minority were opposed to the bombing at the time.

2. Do you think he made the right decision? Give your reasons.

Yes in this case I think he made the right decision because he is the president of the United States and he was doing what was best for his country by saving as many Americans as possible who didn't ahve to invade Japan, it was not his job to protect Japanese. It saved AQmericans lives by endind the war as soon as possible. Also this did make it so nuclear power would be used in future wars but that would havwe happened anyway, it is not Truman's fault, he was just the one who introduced them to the world.
