In a [[history (The Ironside Advance)|history]] in which the [[Eleventh Doctor]] did not discover the [[Ironside Project]], Truman became President much earlier, before [[1942]]. After [[Winston Churchill|Churchill]]'s Ironsides saved the [[American Navy]] from the [[Japan]]ese [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|attack]] at [[Pearl Harbour]], Truman bestowed the [[Medal of Honor]] on them and agreed to aid the British in the war effort. Two [[month]]s later, the allied forces [[Battle of Berlin|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 were breaking down and the center 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 to destroy Professor Bracewell's creations and, in an operation broadcast live across the globe, the first test of the [[atomic bomb|atom-bomb]] took place on [[7 February]] [[1943]] on the [[Isle of Man]], the blast vapourising the Ironsides.
