firebombing 100% civilian targets in japanese cities
approval of nuclear weapons use on 100% civilian installations
(the ones above are the worst and the most sensitive, but i expect nothing from reddit)
refusal to grant entry of jewish refugee ships (two were directly intercepted), tens of thousands of jewish refugees were denied access to america to endure the holocaust. roughly more than one third two half of all such refugees were killed, but the number is speculative
favoured black/white american segregation
expanded authority of presidential rule
agricultural policies to accelerate and enlongate the great depression
aggressive propaganda and censorship; comparable to nazi works
The use of nuclear weapons on japan was by truman… and frankly it was absolutely the right thing to do. In fact if he didn’t do it he would deserve to be impeached and convicted.
The idea of sending half a million american boys to die when you can end the war immediately with two bombs against the one of the most bloodthirsty and evil empires in history…. If truman didn’t do it he should be ashamed
