Harry S. Truman (Cold War)

Harry S. Truman during the Cold War:
  • Came into the presidency on April 12th, 1945
  • Canned MacArthur after he wanted to use atomic bomb technology in an immoral way
  • Truman Doctrine (seeked to contain communism from spreading)
  • Wanted to have technology/weaponry (ex. the atomic bomb) but not necessarily use it
  • He did however decide to use nuclear weapons against Japan in an attempt to end the war
  • MUCH MUCH MORE TO HIS PRESIDENCY :)
