The 1920s have also been labeled the

When we read "It is not the intention of this government...to resort to mass reprisals. It is our intention that just and sure punishment shall be meted out to the ringleaders responsible for the organized murder of thousands..."
Let's remember that President Roosevelt died before the end of World War. Harry S. Truman was the United States President that had to make the toughest decision to launch the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.
