Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Comments

A: Not the answer. Truman understood that if the bomb failed, it would only give the Japanese more reason to continue. Their Kamikaze aircraft had taken the lives of many Americans. He also understood that if he did order the bomb to be dropped and it worked, that the Japanese may not surrender anyway.

B: He did believe that the bomb would be enough to make the Japanese surrender. Otherwise, why would he order it to be done.

C: He did believe (in the end) that atomic weapons were necessary but it was a war on civilians and that made the decision very, very difficult.

D: I don't know what relevance this choice has. He was president. He had to make the choice.  

Answer: These are not terrific choices. I guess you have to choose B

Answer 2

B. did not believe the atomic bomb would be enough to force the surrender of the Japanese

Personally, President Truman did not believe the atomic bomb would be enough to force the surrender of the Japanese.

Why did Truman decide to use the atomic bomb?

Truman's choice to use the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the result of the interaction between his temperament and a number of other factors, including his perspective on the war goals established by his predecessor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the expectations of the American public, an assessment of the likelihood of achieving a swift victory through other means, and the complicated American-Soviet relationship. Nearly all of America's political and military leadership, as well as the majority of those involved in the atomic bomb effort, believed at the time that Truman's decision was sound, even though there was substantial disagreement about whether the attacks were morally justified in later decades.
