Truman did not make the right decision when he authorized the use of atomic weapons on Japan.

Explanation:

The authorisation of the use of atomic weapons on Japan resulted in the most dreadful war event in the history of the entire world.

It killed over 2,00,000 Japanese civilians and left the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the surrounding areas prey to the radiations for years after the bombings.

Many believed and tried convincing President Truman that there are other ways to persuade the Emperor of Japan to end the war. Truman paid attention to no one and chose to bomb Japan.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
