Harry S. Truman

This article needs a big cleanup.

Is the info from DWAN: Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011 from 'The Ironside Advance'? And if so is 'The Ironside Advance' a narrative?

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Harry S. Truman was a Missourian who served as President of the United States.

Biography

Because he was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Vice President, he became President of the United States when FDR died in office in 1945. He was elected in his own right three years later, surprising many who believed him to be a "caretaker" figure. In addition to attending the Potsdam Conference to negotiate the details of postwar Europe and authorising the use of nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan to end World War II, he also prosecuted the majority of the Korean War and fired General Douglas MacArthur for insubordination. He was widely regarded by those who knew him as "a tough little sonovabitch". (EDA: Endgame)

In an alternate timeline, Truman became President much earlier, at least before 1942. After Churchill's Ironsides saved the American Navy from the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbour, Truman bestowed the Medal of Honour on them, finally agreeing to aid the British in the war effort. Two months later, the allied forces marched on Berlin, and the Nazi regime was broken. In summer 1942, the allies met in a secret bunker underneath Washington, D.C.. With no common enemy to fight, relations between the Soviets, Anglo-American amity was breaking down and the centre of the debate was the Ironsides. Neither Truman nor Stalin were keen to leave such powerful weapons to the British Army alone, but the Ironsides' insistence that they never relocate from the United Kingdom left Churchill no choice but to agree to their destruction. It took the United States nearly a year to refine the nuclear technology needed to destroy Professor Bracewell's creations and, in an operation broadcast live across the globe, the first test of the atom-bomb took place on 7th February, 1943 on the Isle of Man, the blast vapourising the Ironsides.
