Yea so after they joined right? Ok what decision did he have to make?

First, the war in Europe had ended; Germany had surrendered in May. The massive war machine that had been assembled in Europe could now be transferred to the Pacific. Overwhelming numbers of troops, ships, warplanes, and war materials would be available to throw at Japan.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Well didnt the USA want revenge? what did they do for that revenge

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Hint: Bomb
