The Atomic Bomb

After Pearl Harbor America focuses most of the WW2 campaign in Japan. Americans were getting frustrated with the length of the war and wanted vengeance for Pearl Harbor. Harry Truman who was Vice President for most of the war became president after FDR's sudden death. He was presented with the Manhattan Project which was the creation of atomic bombs. Little Boy and Fat Man were created and proposed to be dropped on Japan. President Truman decided to drop these bombs on Japan, but gave the country warnings to surrender which they did not. The first bomb was dropped "Little Boy" on Nagasaki Japan and when Japan still did not surrender after a day "Fat Man" was dropped on Hiroshima. Hours after the second bombing Japan surrendered and the war on the Pacific front was over. Here is a clip of just how devastating an atomic bomb is.
