Roosevelt died in April of 1945, and Vice President Truman became President. Truman met with the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and the Russian Dictator Joseph Stalin, in Potsdam, Germany, in July 1945. At the Potsdam conference, a conference between the Allied forces to discuss war options, Truman learned of the successful test explosion of the Atomic Bomb. Truman informed the other Allied leaders that the Atomic Bomb was complete and ready.

The United States, Britain, and China then issued a statement threatening to destroy Japan unless it surrendered unconditionally. In spite of the warning, Japan kept fighting. Japan also did more than continue fighting. Japan, knowing that an Allied invasion was inevitable, began to train its civi

Secondly, World War 2 was very gruesome and very costly to the American Military. The United States lost nearly 300,000 lives in enemy territory. The United States figured that if they didn't drop the A-Bomb, they would lose nearly 1 million more soldiers. With this estimation, I think that America made the correct decision in dropping the bomb. We had to protect ourselves, and the military believed that we needed t
