Foreign Policy: FDR vs. Truman Since the ending of the Second World War, much controversy has floated around through conversations in history as to whether or not the atomic bombs should have been dropped on Japan. The global war lasted from the years 1939 to 1945, with many years of carried conflict and grudges held before and afterwards. The two Presidents most involved in this war were 32nd President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and 33rd President Harry S. Truman. Each of these leaders initiated and finished with significant actions during this war.

However, the conflict between the two superpowers wasn’t just a clash of ideologies because if the United States were found unable to protect one of their key allies as South Korea was observed in the UN, the legitimacy of their foreign policy would be intensely hurt, letting for other states to question the American interests. • THE SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
Regardless, there ensued a civil war in Korea. The Korean war can be regarded as civil war because not very long ago Korea was one political entity and both North Korea and South Korea considered the Korean peninsula to be under one authority and wanted unification of Korea. However the extent of military force employed by North Korea soon made it clear that it was a full scale military attack on South Korea. Americans had not heavily armed the South Koreans because, as NCS-68 document points out, Eastern part of Asia was of leeser concern to United States and to some extent they realized the obsession of Rhee to unify Korea could make him take military action if provided with enough resources.
