Answer 1

If I were Harry Truman, I would choose to use atom bombs on military targets and Japanese cities until the Japanese quit.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I were Harry Truman, I would choose to use atom bombs on military targets and Japanese cities until the Japanese quit.

This decision was made during World War II when Truman was the President of the United States. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 led to Japan's surrender, effectively ending the war.

While this decision is controversial, Truman believed that it would save lives by forcing Japan to surrender and preventing a protracted and costly invasion of the Japanese mainland.
