Why did President Harry S. Truman decide to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki at the end of World War II?

A) He wanted Germany to surrender unconditionally
B) He wanted to wait for the Soviets to join the war
C) He wanted to draw out the war on Japan Eliminate
D) He wanted to avoid an American invasion of the Japanese mainland


Sagot :

C seems most likely. At the time of the nuking, Hitler was long dead at his bunker so its not A. B is utterly incorrect because the soviet union was already involved in the war against Germany. C doesn’t make much sense since it wasn’t him who wanted to continue war, it was japan who wasn’t surrendering. Using this information, we can concur that D is the correct option.
