Did Truman make the right decision in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan? Why or
why not?

Many say that Truman was justified in dropping the first bomb and it kept a land invasion of Japan from occurring but that he didn't give the Japanese enough time to surrender and that the second bomb was ethically problematic.
