| | '''Harry S Truman''' was the 33rd [[President of the United States of America]], taking over from President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] during the [[Second World War]]. He is perhaps best remembered for his decision to drop [[atomic bomb]]s on the [[Japan|Japanese]] cities of [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]]. Truman failed to promptly repeal the [[wage]] and [[price controls]] of [[WW II]]. Voter dissatisfaction with that failure and widespread [[Labor union|union]] [[strike]]s led to a [[Republican]] capture of [[Congress]] in 1946 and passage of the [[Taft-Hartley Act of 1947]], which curbed union strength. | | '''Harry S Truman''' was the 33rd [[President of the United States of America]], taking over from President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] during the [[Second World War]].
