In the summer of 1945, World War II was almost over, especially in Europe where Nazi Germany had already surrendered. However, in Asia, Japan was still fighting hard even though they were having a tough time. The United States had a secret weapon called the atomic bomb, and President Truman decided to use it to try to quickly end the war by dropping bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Soon after, Japan surrendered, which marked a big moment in the war.
