In July 1944, Harry S. Truman ran for Vice President with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On January 20, 1945, he took the vice-presidential oath, and was soon sworn in as the nation's thirty-third President, after President Rooseveltdied on April 12, 1945.

During his first months in office, Truman oversaw the end of the war in Europe, and approved the atomic bombing of Japan that lead to its surrender. Thepresidency also sawthe founding of the United Nations and the development of an increasingly strained and confrontational relationship with the Soviet Union. Important Truman foreign policy initiativesinclude the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Recognition of Israel in May 1948 demonstrated Truman's support for democracy and his commitment to a homeland for the Jewish people. When North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, Truman responded by waging undeclared war.

Domestically,Truman sought to accomplish the transition from a war economy to a peace economy, and to extend New Deal social programs to include more government protection and services. The administration went beyond the New Deal in the area of civil rights, and the President issued executive ordersto desegregate the armed forces and forbid racial discrimination in Federal employment. President Truman also established a Committee on Civil Rights and encouraged the Justice Department to argue before the Supreme Court on behalf of plaintiffs fighting against segregation.

Winning reelection in 1948 Truman'sfamous 'Whistlestop' campaign tour through the country has passed into political folklore.
