had been Vice President for only 82 days when he became the 33rd
President of the U.S. (1945-1953) upon Franklin D. Roosevelt's death on
April 12, 1945. Faced with the ordeal of ending WWII, Truman oversaw the
surrender of Germany (May 7) and ordered the atomic bombings on Hiroshima
(August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9). He fought the Cold War with the Truman
Doctrine, a policy granting Greece and Turkey $400 million in economic and
military aid to help them fight Communist aggression. By the end of 1945, Truman
had introduced economic measures that would become part of his Fair Deal
program. As a result, the minimum wage was increased from 40 to 75 cents an
hour through an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and Social
Security benefits were extended to include approximately ten million more
people. During his second term, Truman ordered U.S. forces into action when
North Korean troops invaded American-supported South Korea. Minor surface
creases (most not evident head on), diagonal crease at left hand. Fine
condition. Framed in the Gallery of History style: 27x30.
