In my opinion, Hiroshima caused the cold war. At Potsdam, Stalin was meeting two guys that he didn’t know; they were not his “buddies” like Churchill and Roosevelt, he didn’t fight the war with them, he didn’t trust them. Truman was the opposite of Roosevelt; he hated Communists, that’s why he and Stalin didn’t work very well together. Attlee was more like a peaceful guy, not the same personality as Churchill had. At the beginning of the conference, Truman didn’t show so aggressive like at the end, he wanted to impose his ideas over the others.
The Allied victory in 1945 was not a sure thing. In early 1942, Germany controlled most of continental Europe and its resources. The Third Reich was in full expansion. The Soviet Union was in vast part occupied, and was risking the annihilation. The United States were not adequately armed for war.
June 6th 1944, probably the most important day in history. Not only for the United States but also for all of Europe.

World War II had big impact for development in the history of Pacific Northwest. America has contact with Asia between the years 1931-1945 and Europe between the years 1939-1945. Moreover, America became officially neutral with the war until 1941 but in fact, they have been supporting their allies since 1940 and become ally with the British in August 1941. However, the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in December 7 1941 which created some hostility between them. America had war with Japan in early 1941 and Germany in September 1941.
Upon assuming the presidency, and with no prior experience in foreign policy, Truman was made commander in chief and charged with ending a world war. In the first six months of his presidency, the Germans’ surrendered on May 8th when the Allies came and invaded them, destroying most of the concentration camps. Once Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Germany surrendered. On Monday May 7th 1945, General Alfred Jodl, Chief of Staff of the German Army, signed three other surrender documents at the same time, one each for Great Britain, Russia, and France. The German military stated: “ We the undersigned, acting by authority of the German High Command, hereby surrender unconditionally to the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Forces and simultaneously to the Soviet High Command all forces on land, sea and in the air who are at this date under German control”. Once Germany surrendered all concentration camps were shut down and any remaining survivors were brought to safety. This event is considered one of the greatest days in Canadian history as it symbolized the end of the suffering that millions endured for years on end.
Bang! Crack! Pop! World War II is raging in Europe, crimson red mixing with the dark brown of the dirt. Another quieter struggle, half way around the world starts on December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor.
The Yalta conference and the Potsdam conference were two sessions or meetings held during the Second World War. , These conferences were held for The Big Three to manage their differences and come to several agreements among themselves. The Big Three included the United States (USA), Great Britain and the Soviet Union (USSR/Russia). The Big Three – also referred to as The Grand Alliance – were always known to be enemies and weren’t fond of each other, although had one thing in common and that was their hatred for Germany. They all had this recurring hatred for Germany, and would do anything to watch it burn to the ground, to the point of uniting with one another to help defeat Germany.
On August 6th, 1945, the final decision was made, and Little Boy was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. Not but three days after Little Boy was dropped, the military dropped a second atomic bomb, nicknamed Fat Boy, on the Japanese city of Nagasaki (history.com, World War II). Japan surrendered to the United States and it’s allied forces on August 14th, 1945, ending World War II. Germany had surrendered on May 8th, 1945, and Japan was soon to follow. A European holiday was then created called “V-Day” also known as Victory in Europe day was established.
He helped develop a strategy for defeating Germany in Europe through a series of invasions, first in North Africa in November 1942, then Sicily and Italy in 1943, followed by the D-Day invasion of Europe in 1944. At the same time, Allied forces were set back Japan in Asia and the eastern Pacific. During this time, Roosevelt also helped create the formation of the United Nations. “The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger.

The February 1945 Yalta Conference was the second wartime meeting of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During the conference, the three leaders agreed to demand Germany’s unconditional surrender and began plans for a post war world. Stalin also agreed to permit free elections in Eastern Europe and to enter the Asian war against Japan, for which he was promised the return of lands lost to Japan in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905. Although most of these agreements were usually kept secret, the revelations of the conference particulars became debatable after Soviet-American wartime cooperation declined into the Cold War (History).
The nation’s citizens were successful with the development of businesses and other forms of profit and economy in the early stages of the United States of America. However, successful individuals like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan became highly wealthy and dealt with their money in a variety of ways. Therefore, many affluent people had similar and differing attitudes towards their immense wealth during the late 19th century.
