Harry S. Truman was born on May 8, 1884, in Lamar, Missouri. He grew up on a farm and attended school until the age of 14 when he had to quit due to poor eyesight. Truman worked various jobs before enlisting in the Missouri National Guard in 1905. He served in World War I and returned home to start a successful haberdashery business. Truman entered politics and was elected as a Jackson County judge in 1922. He later served as a U.S. Senator before being chosen as Franklin D. Roosevelt's running mate in the 1944 presidential election. When Roosevelt died in office in 1945, Truman became the 33rd President of the United States. He made the controversial decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending World War II. Truman also implemented the Marshall Plan to aid in the reconstruction of post-war Europe and signed the Truman Doctrine, which pledged to support countries threatened by communism. After leaving office, Truman retired to his hometown of Independence, Missouri, where he passed away on December 26, 1972. He is remembered as a decisive leader who faced many challenges with courage and determination.
