Thesis Statement

During World War II, the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki was one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. history. Nevertheless, the actions of President Truman were justified on the basis that total war had broken out, the Japanese were performing cruel experiments on the innocent people of Manchuria, and the atomic bombs ended by war by destroying Japanese cities and killing citizens, forcing Japan to surrender unconditionally.
