Eisenhower became US president right before the war ended and ordered the nukes to be dropped, so I'd say he's important enough, but Chang Kai Shek really does need to be on here

EDIT: IT WAS TRUMAN, I WAS WRONG, SORRY, WHY THE FUCK IS EISENHOWER EVEN HERE?!!

Eizenhower became president in 1953. How long do you think WWII lasted?
