본문내용

The nuclear bomb dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August respectively were the consent of United Kingdom as laid down by Quebec Agreement. It was during this era that Truman was the president of the United States. The bomb killed at least 129,000 people in the two cities (Wainstock 33). As a patriotic leader, one would do anything to protect his territory and sacrifice anything for the sake of peace of his people; as such, Truman made the right decision in attacking japan because it was by dropping the atomic bomb the war stopped.
