The U. S. dropped two (2) atomic bombs on Japan in August of 1945- the decision was ultimately left to President Truman.

Do you feel that he made the correct decision? why do you feel that way?

TIA:)

hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Should the United States apologize for the nuclear bombing of Japan at the end of World War II? My answer is no, but I do not dismiss the question out of hand. It is, after all, relevant, raising issues of proportion, race and culture. The bombings were animated by racial animus, they were disproportionate to the number of U.S. deaths that might have resulted from an invasion of the Japanese mainland and the bombs amounted to wretched excess: Japan was ready to surrender anyway. But an imminent Japanese surrender was hardly apparent at the time. Instead, even as the war was ending, the Japanese fought nearly to the last man on Iwo Jima, a month-long battle in which almost 7,000 U.S. Marines were killed. What could Truman have said to Americans who lost a loved one in an invasion of the Japanese home islands if they knew he had a weapon that could have ended the war and not used it? Truman did what he had to do. No apology is needed.
