 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Analysis
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th president of the U.S. With a strong record of military leadership as a five-star general and the supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe during WWII, Eisenhower was a natural favorite in the 1952 presidential race. During his presidency Eisenhower deposed the leader of Iran, helped to end the Korean War and used nuclear deterrence to prevent or discourage an attack by the USSR. Eisenhower also ended the invasion of Egypt in the Suez Crisis and used the expansion of executive privilege to bring an end to McCarthyism. While sometimes criticized for overspending on missile programs, it is important to remember that he also continued most of the New Deal programs and he expanded Social Security. Additionally, Eisenhower made great internal improvements to the nation with the Interstate Highway System. In the arena of civil rights, Eisenhower enforced desegregation with the use of federal troops and he signed legislation in 1957 and 1960 which protected the right to vote.

Truman faced many challenges on the domestic front with the U.S economey but he succeded in passing the “Fair Deal”. Truman's presidency was very eventful in foreign affairs, with the defeat of Nazi Germany and his decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan, the founding of the United Nations, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the Truman Doctrine to contain communism, the beginning of the Cold War, the Berlin Airlift, the creation of NATO, the Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Often referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb,” Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist who played a significant role in the Manhattan project of WWII. Additionally, after the war he became the chief advisor to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Oppenheimer, despite his former role in the Manhattan project, was avidly against the use of atomic and nuclear power for destructive purposes. He eventually had his security clearance revoked due to his strong opinions. He was later awarded the Enrico Fermi award in 1964 by JFK.

He is attributed with making claims concerning large number of Americans being communist and started a movement that soon out of control. His actions created a term call McCarthyism which refers to the random accusation of people without substantial evidence. He caused the jailing of numerous innocent people and his ability to manipulate facts and sway the public's opinion ultimately led to his censorship by the U.S. Senate.

Throughout both of his terms as PM, he encouraged very pro-American policies and treated the US as a special ally.

The scientific innovation and engineering genius that went into the execution of this project forever changed the world and was an obvious precursor to the Cold War. Additionally, the production of the atomic bomb ultimately led to the timely unconditional surrender of Japan.
