.... up the presidency of Roosevelt was William Howard Taft, the hand chosen successor of Roosevelt. Taft was a close ally of Roosevelt, and both maintained a conviction to reform of similar issues, but we say in Taft, a more timid and conservative man than Roosevelt. Where Roosevelt had been at the least forceful, Taft may have been firm, Roosevelt adamant, and Taft possibly upset.

Oddly enough, on the basis of comprehensive accomplishments, Taft surel .....

.... prolonging of the war until late 1946, as stated in document A, would result from invading on foot instead of using the bomb. Revenge also played a role in the decision to bomb Japan. The Japanese were not following the Geneva convention in regards to treatment of prisoners of war. Which says that the prisoners are not to be put through torture of the psychological or physical nature. The Japanese did these things anyway, they would decapitate American prisoners, or they would shove bamboo shoots under their fingernails.
