Why did harry Truman contribute to World War II?

History
1 answer:
Aleks [24]3 years ago

Because he wanted to end war as fast as possible

Explanation:

  • Truman was vice president for only 82 days before President Roosevelt died.
  • He had very little significant discussions on world affairs and domestic politics after taking the oath of office for Roosevelt's vice president and was completely unaware of major initiatives to continue the successful war - most notably the secret project Manhattan, which at the time of Roosevelt's death, was on the highlight of testing the first atomic bomb.
  • Truman was soon briefed on the Manhattan Project and approved the use of nuclear weapons against Japan in August 1945 after the Potsdam Declaration was rejected by the Japanese Empire.
  • The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remained to this day the first, but also the only, use of nuclear weapons for war purposes. The bombing was followed by the rapid capitulation of Japan on September 2, 1945, and the end of World War II. The use of nuclear weapons was not controversial at the time, both in the US and among its allies.
  • At the Potsdam Conference, Joseph Stalin advised Truman to use the atomic bomb as soon as possible. In the years following the bombing, Truman's decision became extremely controversial, and it was said why he decided to do so.

1. Where did the ideas for changes to the Constitution come from? What
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the Constitution was being written, the men writing the document realized it might have to be altered in the future.  Since the document was written in a general format, the delegates realized that as time changed, it might be necessary to change the Constitution.  However, the delegates believed that it should be more difficult to change the Constitution than to change a law.  Thus, they required two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the state governments to agree to change it.

The ideas for making specific changes came from many places. One of the places where people looked for change was in the English

German AmericansJewish AmericansAsian AmericansHispanic AmericansWomenDissentersHow was this group treated by the U.S government
sertanlavr [38]

Explanation:

German Americans and Asian Americans during World War-I were seen as inferior citizens. There are reports that the names of streets in German were changed because of discrimination against them, fellow Americans were biased in their dealings with them. As a result of all this unfair treatment, Germans who live in the United States are said to have hidden their German identities.

Jewish Americans during World War-I experience discrimination also. In fact, the KKK, a racist organization played a major role in their unfair treatment. They decided to fight the discrimination they faced, there are also reports that they engaged in fundraising activities to support those affected by the war.

Hispanic Americans during World War-I were between the tensions that existed between the United States and Mexico at the time. Despite such immense opposition and unfair treatment in terms of labor wages, they still migrated to the United States, which lead to an increase in the Hispanic population in the country.

Similar mistreatment occurred against Women Dissenters, as ongoing efforts were made to silenced them. Still, they continued in their fight.
