This is sort of a mirror thread to an earlier thread I made concerning what would have happened had President Roosevelt died 6 months before he historically did, during the last days of the 1944 Presidential election. Here, I intend to foster speculation about the opposite. Now, I understand from the beginning that this is far less plausible given the state of FDR's health at the time, but what if FDR had lived for another six months, dying in October 1945? What if anything, does President Roosevelt do differently than his successor during the end of the war? How is Harry Truman's Presidency affected by the fact that he entered the White House after the end of the second world war, and was not President during any of it? Again, I realize that given his health FDR was probably lucky to last till April. But bear with me.
