Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States, serving from 1945-1953. He is known for his decisiveness and his willingness to make decisions without consulting with others first.

Harry S. Truman is remembered as one of Americas great presidents for a multitude of reasons, including his plain speaking and determined nature seen at the 1948 Democratic convention.

This recognition of Israel being its own independent state was unprecedented in international politics -- and it was largely attributed to Harry S. Truman for his role as both a president and a statesman in pushing for such a bold move despite resistance from multiple sources.
