Imagine that you are one of truman advisors reply to another students post for question

1. The U.S. war with Japan lasted from December 1941 to September 1945. Millionsof people died. Do you think the fact that World War II caused such great su³eringwas a reason for leaders to decide to use a weapon like the atom bomb to end thewar? Do you think it was a good reason to do this?

2. We know now that atomic weapons don't only blow a hole in the ground. Falloutfrom nuclear weapons poisons the air, kills wildlife, and causes people to die ofradiaon sickness. Enough atomic weapons could destroy life on earth. Truman didnot know this, but we now do. Does knowing this change the way we look at thedecision he made? Quesons

Not a question but you !
