How Did The Us Lose Ww2

What If August 6th, 1945, the United States of America has been hard at war for a long four years. Germany has fallen and the world is left in shambles; only Japan continues to fight the allies. With the US closing in on the Japanese homeland President Harry S. Truman is left with a decision that will change the world. On August 6th, 1945, at 8:16 am the world changed forever. The world’s first atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima. The Nuclear age has begun. Around noon, August 9th, 1945, the second atomic bomb was dropped over Nagasaki.
