    1945; World War 2 was in its final year of fighting and by the end of April, Hitler had committed suicide, the Ustasa regime was toppled, and Truman was the new President of the United States. Before his unexpected death, Franklin Roosevelt had been constructing an atomic bomb to use on Japan and failed to inform his vice president about this. This lack of communication between the two was most likely based upon Roosevelt’s worries for if citizens found out about the construction; there was the fear of opposition as well the fear of failure in the face of the nation. The decision of whether to drop the atomic bomb or not, was Truman’s first and greatest conflict. Coming in to presidency at age 42, Roosevelt was 5 years and 29 days younger than President Grover Cleveland, who was previously the youngest president.

People still were weary at first of Roosevelt becoming president because they felt that he still had to mature and might not make decisions that would most benefit the country. Both men got over their first hurdles but making a decision on a controversial topic, such as the…
