Davis by 51% to 49%. [42]

Harry Truman to write about the atomic bomb in his diary [64]
As part of the Allied victory, Truman traveled to Europe for the Potsdam Conference . He was there when he learned that the Trinity test of the first atomic bomb on July 16 was successful. He hinted to Joseph Stalin that the US is in the process of a new type of weapon to use against the Japanese. Although this was the first time the Soviets had officially information about the atomic bomb, Stalin was already aware of the bomb project after it (via learned espionage ) long before Truman did. [65] [66] [67]
In August, after the German government refused to surrender requirements Truman authorized the atomic bombing of Japan.Although it was not known how devastating the explosions and the consequences would be, Truman, like most Americans, was not inclined merciful towards the Japanese to be during the long years of war. Truman always said that his decision to Japan to bomb saved lives on both sides; Military estimates for an invasion of the Japanese home islands were, it could take a year and result in 250,000 to 500,000 American casualties. He also knew that the program could cost $ 2000000000, and so he was not inclined to an alternative that could quickly end the war without.Hiroshima was bombed on August 6 and Nagasaki three days later. When the Japanese were slow to emerge, Truman ordered a massive conventional air raid on Tokyo August 13; Japan agreed to surrender the following day. [68] [69]
Proponents of Truman's decision argue that given the stubborn defense of the Japanese islands, saved the bombing hundreds of thousands of lives that would be lost invading mainland Japan have.Others have argued that the use of nuclear weapons was unnecessary and immoral in nature. [70] Truman wrote, later in life, that, "I knew what I was doing when I stopped the war ... I have no regrets and under the same circumstances, I would do it again. " [71]

Strikes and economic upheaval [ edit ]

The end of World War II was followed by a troubled transition from war to a peacetime economy. The cost of the war effort were enormous, and Truman was anxious decreasing government spending for the military as soon as possible.Demobilization, the military and the reduction in the size of the various services was a cost-saving priority. The effect of the demobilization of the economy was unknown, but concerns were that the nation would slip back into depression.Much of the work was to be done in order to plan how best to peacetime production of goods transition are avoiding mass unemployment for returnees. Government officials had no consensus on what should steer economic course of the postwar US.Moreover, Roosevelt had not taken to Congress in his last years on, and Truman faced a body, where a combination of Republicans and conservative Democrats south formed a powerful voting bloc. [72]
The President was confronted with the revival of labor-management conflicts that had lain dormant during the war years, severe shortages of housing and consumer products and widespread dissatisfaction with inflation, which meet at a point 6% in a single month. [73] At this polarized environment, a wave of destabilization strike was in major industries. Answer Truman, it was generally considered ineffective. [73] A rapid increase in costs was fueled by the release of price controls on most items, and work sought wage increases. A serious steel strike in January 1946 with 800,000 employees-the largest in the nation history was followed by a miners' strike in April and a rail strike May. The public was furious, with a majority in polls favoring a ban on strikes by public employees and a one-year moratorium on work actions. Truman proposed legislation to develop striking workers in the armed forces and in a dramatic personal appearance before Congress could announce settlement of the rail strike. His proposal passed the House of Representatives, but failed in the Senate. [74] [75] For products where price controls remained, producers were often unwilling to artificially low prices for sale: farmers refused to grain for months in 1945 and 1946 for sale until payment has been substantially increased, although grain was urgently needed, not only for home use, but to ward off hunger in Europe. [76]
Although the labor dispute was dampened after the completion of the railway strike, continued it through Truman's presidency.The President of the approval rate fell from 82% in the polls in January 1946 to 52% in June. [77] This dissatisfaction with the policies of the Truman administration led to major Democratic losses in the midterm elections of 1946, when the Republicans control of Congress for the first time since 1930. The 80th Congress included Republican freshmen who would emerge in the coming years, including Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy and California Congressman Richard Nixon . When Truman dropped to 32% in the polls, Arkansas Democratic Senator William Fulbright suggested that Truman withdraw; the President said that it does not matter what Senator "Half-brightness" said him. [78] [79]
Truman cooperated closely with the Republican leaders in foreign policy, although he fought them bitterly on domestic issues. The power of the unions was significantly curtailed Taft-Hartley Act , which was enacted over Truman's veto . [80] twice to reduce Truman vetoed bills to income tax rates in 1947. Although the initial vetoes were sustained, overwrote Congress his veto of a tax cut bill in 1948. The parties cooperate on some issues;Congress passes the President Succession Act 1947 so that the Speaker of the House instead of the Secretary of State's turn to the presidency after the vice president. [81]
As he prepares for the 1948 election, Truman made clear his identity as a Democrat in the New Deal tradition, advocating national health insurance , [82] the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act and an aggressive civil rights program, which he described as a moral priority. Taken together, they formed a broad legislative agenda that came hot " Fair Deal .

As Wilson internationalist Truman strongly supported founding of the United Nations, and included Eleanor Roosevelt on the delegation first of the UN General Assembly . [87] with the Soviet Union expanded its sphere of influence through Eastern Europe, Truman and his foreign policy advisers took a hard line against the USSR. In this, he matched the American public opinion, which quickly came to the Soviets as anxious to see the world domination. [88]
Although he claimed no personal expertise to foreign bodies, won Truman bipartisan support for both the Truman Doctrine , which formalized a policy of the Soviet attitude and the Marshall Plan , for the reconstruction of postwar Europe. [89] [90] To to bring the Congress to the huge sums necessary to spend the moribund European economy new, Truman used an ideological argument, arguing that Communism flourishes in economically disadvantaged areas.

Recognition of Israel [ edit ]
Truman had a long time interest in the history of the Middle East, and had read many books on ancient history and the events in the Bible in context. He was sympathetic to those who wanted a Jewish homeland in Palestine Mandate . As a senator he Jewish leaders had assured his support for Zionism , and at a 1943 rally in Chicago had for a homeland for the Jews, who referred survived the Nazi regime. A Jewish homeland in Palestine was very popular in the United States, and the Jewish support could be key in the upcoming presidential elections. However, State Department officials were cautious with the Arabs, who were opposed to the establishment of a Jewish state in their midst beleidigen.Verteidigungsminister James Forrestal warned Truman of the importance of the Saudi Arabian oil in another war; Truman replied that he did his policies on the basis of equity, not the oil.Decide would [94] In addition, when diplomats were called home from the Middle East, advised Truman and promoted the Arab view Truman said he had a few Arabs among its components. [95]
American politicians 1947/48 agreed that the highest foreign policy goal was unfolded containment of Soviet expansion when the Cold War. From the perspective of many officials, Palestine was secondary to the objective of protecting the "Northern Tier" of Greece, Turkey and Iran from Communism, as promised in the Truman Doctrine. [96] Truman was tired of both the tortuous policy the Middle East and the insistence of the Jewish leaders of his term and was undecided about his policies.

Truman later wrote:
1948 election [ edit ]
For more details on this topic, see United States presidential election, 1948 .
The 1948 presidential election is remembered for Truman's stunning come-from-behind victory. [101] In the spring of 1948, Truman was public approval rating at 36%, [102] and the President was almost universally regarded as incapable of winning the general choice.The "New Deal "cooperatives within the party, including Roosevelt's son James -tried for the Democratic nomination to vibrate General Dwight D. Eisenhower , a very popular figure whose political views and party affiliation were completely unknown.Eisenhower emphatically refused to accept, and Truman outflanked opponents on his nomination. [101]
At the 1948 Democratic National Convention, Truman, the party tried adding a vague civil unify plank in the party platform; The aim was to appease the internal conflicts between the northern and southern wing of his party. Events took the President's efforts at compromise, however. A sharp address given by Mayor Hubert Humphrey of Minneapolis -as well as the local political interests of a number of urban bosses-convinced the Convention, a stronger civil rights plank that Truman authorized to accept wholeheartedly. All Alabama delegates, and part of the Mississippi, walked out of the Congress in protest. [103] Undeterred Truman delivered an aggressive acceptance speech attacking the 80th Congress, Truman as "Do Nothing Congress", [73] and promising choice to attract and "make these Republicans like it." [104]
Within two weeks of the 1948 Convention Truman issued Executive Order 9981 , racially integrate the US Armed Services[105] [106] [107] and Executive Order 9980, the federal government to integrieren.Truman took considerable political risks in securing civil rights and many experienced Democrats were concerned that the loss of the Dixiecrat support might destroy the Democratic Party. The fear seemed well founded-South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond declared his candidacy for the presidency on a Dixiecrat ticket and conducted a large-scale revolt of the southern " states' rights "advocates. This rebellion on the right was matched by a left on the side of Wallace on the LED Progressive Party Ticket.Unmittelbar after the first post-FDR convention of the Democratic Party found itself disintegrating. Victory in November seemed a remote possibility, not just split with the party, but split three ways. [108] For his running mate, Senator Truman accepted Kentucky Alben W. Barkley , even though he really wanted to Justice William O. Douglas , who must the nomination. [109]
The campaign was a remarkable 21,928 miles (35,290 km) presidential odyssey. [110] In a personal appeal to the nation, Truman crisscrossed the US by train; his " Whistle Stop "speeches from the rear platform of the observation car Ferdinand Magellan came to his campaign to vertreten.Seine combative appearances, as in the marketplace of Harrisburg , Illinois, captured the popular imagination and drew huge crowds. Six stations in Michigan drew a combined half a million people; [111] . a full million turned out for a New York City ticker-tape parade [112]
The large, mostly spontaneous gatherings at Truman railcars events were an important sign of a change in momentum in the campaign, but this shift went virtually unnoticed by the national press corps, which the report Republicans continue to Thomas Dewey 's apparent imminent victory as a certainty. One reason for the press "inaccurate projection was that polls a telephone were mainly by telephone at a time when many people, including a lot of populist Truman basis not have done. [113] This distorts the data to a stronger support base show for Dewey as bestanden.Es led to unintended and undetected projection error that may have contributed to the perception of the gloomy prospects Truman The three major polling organizations stopped polling well ahead of November 2 election date. Roper in September and Crossley and Gallup in October -so that not the time to measure when Truman seems past Dewey have increased. [114] [115]
In the end, Truman held his progressive Midwestern base, most southern states won in spite of the civil rights plank and squealed with narrow victories in a few critical states, especially Ohio, California and Illinois. The final tally showed that the President had 303 electoral votes, Dewey 189 and Thurmond only 39. Henry Wallace was not secured. The defining image of the campaign came after Election Day, when an ecstatic Truman held aloft the erroneous front page of the Chicago Tribune with a huge headline proclaiming " Dewey defeats Truman . " [116]

[103] Undeterred Truman delivered an aggressive acceptance speech attacking the 80th Congress, Truman as "Do Nothing Congress", [73] and promising choice to attract and "make these Republicans like it." [104]
Within two weeks of the 1948 Convention Truman issued Executive Order 9981 , racially integrate the US Armed Services[105] [106] [107] and Executive Order 9980, the federal government to integrieren.Truman took considerable political risks in securing civil rights and many experienced Democrats were concerned that the loss of the Dixiecrat support might destroy the Democratic Party. The fear seemed well founded-South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond declared his candidacy for the presidency on a Dixiecrat ticket and conducted a large-scale revolt of the southern " states' rights "advocates. This rebellion on the right was matched by a left on the side of Wallace on the LED Progressive Party Ticket.Unmittelbar after the first post-FDR convention of the Democratic Party found itself disintegrating. Victory in November seemed a remote possibility, not just split with the party, but split three ways. [108] For his running mate, Senator Truman accepted Kentucky Alben W. Barkley , even though he really wanted to Justice William O. Douglas , who must the nomination. [109]
The campaign was a remarkable 21,928 miles (35,290 km) presidential odyssey. [110] In a personal appeal to the nation, Truman crisscrossed the US by train; his " Whistle Stop "speeches from the rear platform of the observation car Ferdinand Magellan came to his campaign to vertreten.Seine combative appearances, as in the marketplace of Harrisburg , Illinois, captured the popular imagination and drew huge crowds. Six stations in Michigan drew a combined half a million people; [111] . a full million turned out for a New York City ticker-tape parade [112]
The large, mostly spontaneous gatherings at Truman railcars events were an important sign of a change in momentum in the campaign, but this shift went virtually unnoticed by the national press corps, which the report Republicans continue to Thomas Dewey 's apparent imminent victory as a certainty. One reason for the press "inaccurate projection was that polls a telephone were mainly by telephone at a time when many people, including a lot of populist Truman basis not have done. [113] This distorts the data to a stronger support base show for Dewey as bestanden.Es led to unintended and undetected projection error that may have contributed to the perception of the gloomy prospects Truman The three major polling organizations stopped polling well ahead of November 2 election date. Roper in September and Crossley and Gallup in October -so that not the time to measure when Truman seems past Dewey have increased. [114] [115]
In the end, Truman held his progressive Midwestern base, most southern states won in spite of the civil rights plank and squealed with narrow victories in a few critical states, especially Ohio, California and Illinois. The final tally showed that the President had 303 electoral votes, Dewey 189 and Thurmond only 39. Henry Wallace was not secured. The defining image of the campaign came after Election Day, when an ecstatic Truman held aloft the erroneous front page of the Chicago Tribune with a huge headline proclaiming " Dewey defeats Truman . " [116]
Second term (1949-1953) [ edit ]
Truman's inauguration was the first nationally televised. [117] His second term was exhausting, especially because of the foreign policy challenges that directly or indirectly connected with its policy of containment. He had to quickly come up with the end of the American nuclear monopoly; with the information provided by its espionage networks in the United States are available, the Soviet Union atomic bomb project progressed much faster than had been expected, and they detonated the first bomb on August 29, 1949. In response, on January 7, 1953 announced Truman detonation of first US hydrogen bomb . [118]

Korean War [ edit ]

On June 25, 1950, Kim Il-sung "s North Korean People's Army invaded South Korea, the start of the Korean War .In the first weeks of the war, the North Koreans slightly again urged the South. [119] Truman called for a naval blockade of Korea, only that to learn because of budget cuts, the US Navy a similar measure could not be implemented. [120] Truman promptly, the United Nations called on to intervene; it did, authorization troops under the UN flag, led by US General Douglas MacArthur .
Truman decided that he need not be formally approved by Congress to believe that most legislators support his position;. It would come back to him later, when the conflict was stalemate track dubbed by the legislature "Mr. Truman's War" [119 ] However, on July 3, 1950, Truman did give Senate Majority Leader Scott W. Lucas a draft resolution entitled "Joint Resolution expression approval of the action in Korea Taken". Lucas said Congress supported the use of force that the formal dissolution would happen, but was not necessary and that the consensus in Congress was to submit. Truman replied that he did not want "to appear to try to bring the Congress and use except constitutional powers" and Truman added that it "to the Congress, if such a decision should be implemented." [121]
Until August 1950 US troops were pouring in South Korea under United Nations auspices able to stabilize the situation. [122] In response to the criticism, the willingness Truman fired his defense minister, Louis A. Johnson , he retired with the General Marshall replaced. With UN approval, Truman decided on a "rollback" political conquest of North Korea. [123] UN forces under General MacArthur led led the counterattack, scoring a stunning upset win with an amphibious landing at the Battle of Inchon that captures almost the invaders , UN troops then marched north, toward the Yalu River border with China, with the goal of Korean reunification under the auspices of the United Nations. [124] However, China surprised the UN forces with a large-scale invasion in November.The UN troops were forced back under the 38th Latitude , then recovered. [125] By early 1951 the war a violent stalemate at about the 38th parallel, where he had begun. Truman rejected MacArthur's request to Chinese supply bases north of the Yalu attack, but MacArthur are still promoted his plan to Republican House leader Joseph Martin , who leaked to the press. Truman was very worried that could further escalation of the war lead to a conflict with the Soviet Union (with Korean markings and Soviet airmen) to open already supplied weapons and providing combat aircraft. Therefore, on April 11, 1951, Truman fired MacArthur from his commands. [126]
You more hell
I fired him [MacArthur], because he does not respect the authority of the President ... I did not fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, though, but that's not against the law for Generäle.Wenn, would the half to three-quarters of them in prison. [127]
Harry S. Truman, quoted time magazine
The dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur was among the least politically popular decisions in Presidential History.Truman's approval ratings plummeted, and he faced calls for his ouster from, among others, Senator Robert Taft . [128] strong criticism from almost all quarters accused Truman refusing to shoulder the blame went to war angry and blame his generals instead. Others, including Eleanor Roosevelt, supported and applauded decision Trumans.MacArthur Meanwhile back in the US to a hero's welcome, and addressed a joint session of Congress, a speech by the President as "a bunch of fucking shit." [129 ]
The war was a frustrating impasse for two years, with more than 30,000 Americans killed until a ceasefire ended the fighting in 1,953th [130] In February 1952 Truman was Approval at 22% according to Gallup polls , which until George W.

Worldwide Defense [ edit ]
The escalation of the Cold War was highlighted by consent Truman's NSC-68 , a secret statement of foreign policy. He called for a tripling of the defense budget, and globalization and militarization of containment policy, with the US and its NATO allies would respond militarily actual Soviet expansion. The document was designed by Paul Nitze consulted the State and Defense officials; It was officially opened by President Truman as the official national strategy approved by the outbreak of war in Korea.

Forrestal had burned out through years of hard work during and after the war, and began to suffer mental health problems. He retired in March 1949;Shortly thereafter he was hospitalized and committed suicide in May. [133]
Truman was a strong supporter of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO), the formal peacetime military alliance with Canada and many of the democratic European states that had not fallen under Soviet control after World War established.The Treaty establishing it was very popular and passed the Senate in 1949, slightly;Truman appointed General Eisenhower as Commander in Chief.

Soviet espionage and McCarthyism [ edit ]
In August 1948 Whittaker Chambers , a former spy for the Soviets and a senior editor at Time magazine, testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) states that an underground communist network had worked in the US government since the 1930s, Chambers of whom was a member, along with Alger Hiss , until recently a senior official of the Außenministeriums.Obwohl Hiss denied the allegations, he was sentenced in January 1950 for perjury for his denials under oath.Success of the Soviet Union in exploding a nuclear weapon in 1949 and the overthrow of the nationalist Chinese same year, many Americans led to the conclusion that subversion of Soviet spies was responsible, and to request that the Communists be rooted out of the government and other places of influence. [139] [140] However, Truman not fully share such opinions. He called famous Hiss trial a "red herring" and the Ministry of Justice was moving to indict Chambers instead Hiss for perjury. [141]
After Hiss conviction, Secretary of State Dean Acheson announced that he was standing by him. These and other events, such as the revelation that British atomic scientist Klaus Fuchs was a spy, led current and former members of the HUAC, including Congressman Nixon of California and Karl Mundt of South Dakota to Truman and his government, in particular the State Department denounced as soft on Kommunismus.Wisconsin Senator McCarthy used a Lincoln Day speech in Wheeling, West Virginia to the State Department accused of harboring communists, and rode the controversy surrounding political fame. [142] In the following years, Republicans used Hiss Conviction the Democrats for harboring communists scourge in the government; Congressman Nixon won the election to the Senate in 1950 on an anti-communist platform, defeating the Liberal Helen Gahagan Douglas , whom he described as "Pink Lady". [143]
Charges that Soviet agents had the government was infiltrated accepted by 78% of people in 1946, and became a major campaign issue for Eisenhower 1,952th [144] Truman hesitated, taking a more radical stance because he feared that full disclosure of the extent of communist infiltration would reflect badly on the Democratic Party. This is reflected, among other things, in his interview of 1956, in which he denied that Alger Hiss has ever been a Communist, a full six years after Hiss's conviction for perjury been. [145] In 1949, he called the American Communist leaders, or their management was the persecution , "traitors", but in 1950 he vetoed the McCarran Internal Security Act was, but passed on his veto. [146] Truman later state in private conversations with friends that his establishment of a loyalty program was a "terrible "error. [147]

Further information: President Committee for Civil Rights
A report in 1947 by the Truman administration entitled to secure these rights , a detailed ten-point agenda of civil rights reform. In February 1948, the President submitted a civil rights agenda to Congress, the creation of several federal agencies on topics such as dedicated proposed voting rights and fair employment practices. [164] This provoked a storm of criticism from Southern Democrats in the run-up to the national nominating convention, but Truman refused to compromise with the words: "My ancestors were Confederates ... but my stomach turned when I learned that Negro soldiers, just back from overseas were thrown and beaten by army trucks in Mississippi." [165] Tales of abuse, violence and persecution by many African American veterans upon their return from the Second World War suffered angry Truman and were an important factor in his decision to issue Executive Order 9981 , in July 1948 desegregation and equal requiring opportunity in the armed forces. [166 ] After several years of planning, recommendations and revisions between Truman, the Committee on equal treatment and opportunities and the various branches of the military was racially integrated army units. [167]
