Who was Harry Truman and why did he decide to drop the bomb on Japan? (lines 1-7)

Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953, succeeding upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt after serving as the 34th vice president.

Explanation:

Truman's intention was to gain Japan's surrender with the atomic bomb before the Soviet entry, and Stalin's objective was to enter the war before Japan's surrender. It was, indeed, a “race to the finish.”
