Personally, President Truman A. believed the atomic bomb should first be demonstrated to the Japanese before it was actually use
IgorC [24]

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
