Explanation:
If I was in Truman's shoes and I lost the ships from Pearl Harbor I would definately fight back, there is no way I'm going to stay quiet from someone hurting my country and costs lives and lots of money. The options were Raid Japan, Invade Japan, bomb in an inhabitant area or a populated area.
Pros and cons of raiding Japan
pros- Japan will see us as a threat and no longer want to mess with the US
CONS-More lives will be lost and will lose a future ally.
Pros and cons of invading Japan
pros- Japan will be ours and they will have to surrender
CONS- could cost more lives lost than needed.
Pros and cons of Bombing inhabited area
pros- No one gets hurt and less lives will be lost
cons- Japan might cause another bombing
Pros and cons of Bombing populated area
pros- Japan will fear us and must surrender
cons- many lives will be lost .
I believe Truman was better off dropping the bomb to prove to other countries to never mess with the USA again and if he didn't Japan might cause another bombing.
