The emphasis of this episode is the end of World War II, and the dawn of the new era of the Cold War. It traces the events that led up to the end of World War II, and America's use of the Atomic Bomb. It is said that an ending is also a beginning. In August of 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, one in the city of Hiroshima, the other in the city of Nagasaki. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin met at Yalta in early 1945.
War brings misery, death and destruction.
Most people do not wish for war, yet history shows us that war is a common occurrence. Imagine that you a reporter for a major newspaper and your assignment is to write an obituary for Franklin D. Roosevelt. All rights reserved.
