Did the secrecy under which the bomb had been developed limit Truman's ability to consider alternative approaches?

History

The atomic bomb is particularly famous for having been the key to ending World War II. The United States decided to use the bomb in Japan hoping that this will lead to its surrender. The bomb was developed as a top-secret weapon, and when suggested to Truman, he was not offered any alternatives.

Many critics have argued that the bomb was unnecessarily destructive, and that less lethal alternatives were available. However, it is unclear to what extent Truman could have approached the situation another way. It is very likely that the secrecy under which the bomb had been developed limited Truman's ability to consider alternative approaches. The fact that the weapon was secret meant that few people contributed to the deliberation, and that many of the risks were unknown. Moreover, the situation was complicated due to other concerns, such as a determination to protect American lives and Truman's desire to appear decisive and strong.

Discuss TWO post-Korean War American foreign policy crises/conflicts and consider what if any role the “Cold War Lens” had in fo
frutty [35]

The two post-Korean War American foreign policy crises/conflicts were the following:

The Cuban Missile Crisis and the US intervention in the Vietnam War.

The role the “Cold War Lens” had in forcing an American response was the permanent interest or top priority United States foreign policy of containment.

That policy of containment was implemented to stop the spread of Communism around the world.

Through the policy of containment, the United States could prevent the domino effect, and limit the expansion of Communism in different places.

Let's have in mind that during the Cold War years, the Soviet Union tried to spread Communism in different countries of the world, meanwhile, the United States tried to stop it.  

The Cuban Missile Crisis and the US intervention in the Vietnam War were two international conflicts that made the US federal government intervene in order to protect its interests and contain Russia Communism.

We conclude that during the Cold War years, the US and the USSR had many differences and exchanged accusations that put the world on the brink of another world war.

That was was the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962.

They also competed in the arms race and the space race.

What does it mean that the Church teaches that sexuality is a gift from God?
love history [14]
I believe that God taught that Adam and Eve were the “right way to have relationships”. Like a man should marry and woman, and a woman should marry a man.
The bible teaches that we cannot marry or have “romantic” relations with a person of the same sex. Any kind of homosexuality on the Bible is considered sin.
