Refer back to your answer to question 11.2.3 and, using whatever you know about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, think of ‘possible consequences’ of two important options which President Truman should have considered in deciding whether to drop the atom bomb. (Since this was an issue of enormous importance you should be as imaginative as you can about possible consequences and perhaps use the internet or do some reading on the subject if you know little about it.)

Question 11.2.3

Imagine yourself in President Truman’s position as he faced the decision about whether to drop the atom bomb; bearing in mind whatever you know about that event, list as many options as you can which you think need to be considered. (Brainstorming could help you.)
