After winning the campaign he bombed the government and pretended it was someone trying to get rid of them and took total control to " protect " the people.

BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKIThe bombing of Hiroshima happened august 1945 and caused great damage. This was an important event because it was revenge for the bombing of the U.S. ship, and also the first time that an atomic bomb was being used. The U.S. had no idea what the bomb would do or how it would affect Hiroshima in the present and future;yet they decided to do it anyways. America didn't stop there since they saw that japan wasn't responding in any way, they threw a similar bomb on a small town in japan called Nagasaki. That caused the Japanese to surrender the war.
