Dropping the Atomic Bomb

1. What factors have affected viewpoints on Truman's decision?
There were many factors that affected the viewpoints on Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan. One of them was that when Truman received details of a secret Japanese signal, that showed the Japanese military were very determined to fight. Truman decided to use the bomb but only as a normal weapon. The bomb also tested that if it was set off no country could recovover from the impact. Truman then divided that invading japan would be dangerous and could kill alot of lives of American, but he knew that the atomic bomb would be the best decision.

2. Do you think he made the right decision? Give your reasons.
I do believe that Truman made the right decision by dropping the atomic bomb because it saved any americans lives because if america decided to invade instead of drop the bomb many americans would have died or go seriously injured. I believe it was the right decision to make because since Truman was new in office he had to think of the people and dropping the bomb saved many soldiers lives. Also, dropping the atomic bomb ended the war. If we had no dropped the bomb we would have been in war still and dropping the bomb made it so that the war ended.
