If Truman had not been president, would the world have spent less for military purposes? Would then we and the world now be better for it?
U.S. Senator Harry Truman was the Democratic VP nominee of 1944. Vice President Henry Wallace was not renominated because Southern Democrats in particular, considered him as more agreeable to farmers and labor, rather than to corporations and banks. Truman mistrusted Russia, and Wallace was believed to be less so mistrustful of them.
If after FDR's death, Wallace rather than Truman had been President of the USA;
if after WW2 there had not been an arms race between the USA and the USSR;
if less wealth and efforts were devoted to military purposes, what would have been the consequences for the world and for the USA?
Would the strides of all technological and of economic advancements of particularly the USA have been as great? Would we have even have yet begun a space program? Would there have been less wars, and/or now be better quality of lives in the USA and/or the remainder of the world?
Truman's services as president of the United States were superior to many and inferior to on other who served in that office. I've greatest respect and admiration for both Henry A. Walace and Harry S. Truman. Respectfully. Supposn
