Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 â December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945â53), an American politician of the Democratic Party.
Truman had been the party's vice presidential candidate with Franklin Roosevelt in nineteen forty-four. When Roosevelt died a year later, Truman became president. He was the one who made the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan to end World War Two. But Truman did not do well during his first few months in office.
