Manhattan Project In 1938‚ German scientists discovered the process of nuclear fission‚ splitting atoms‚ by using neutrons to barrage uranium. Copying and enhancing the experiment‚ many scientists traveled to and from one another‚ trading theories and ideas about their research. Then everything changed when Fascism and Nazism took over and began corrupting many parts of Europe‚ thus‚ World War II began. Many of the nations that were even remotely involved began looking for ways to win the war whether

But before we continue onto the story of The Manhattan Project‚ we first must know the reasons why it was started. During World War II‚ Germany‚ with some help from primarily Italy‚ tried to take over Europe. This was the rise of Hitler

The Manhattan Project Nuclear research all started when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor‚ and the United States entered into World War II. When the United States realized that Germany attempted to build an atomic bomb‚ Americans began to concentrate on their research about creating an atomic bomb more heavily. President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Manhattan Project‚ which included a group of top scientists‚ under General Leslie R. Groves‚ who worked around the clock to try to develop an

On the morning of August 6‚ 1945‚ a B-29 bomber named Enola Gay flew over the industrial city of Hiroshima‚ Japan and dropped the first atomic bomb ever. The city went up in flames caused by the immense power equal to about 20‚000 tons of TNT. The project was a success. They were an unprecedented assemblage of civilian‚ and military scientific brain power-brilliant‚ intense‚ and young‚ the people that helped develop the bomb. Unknowingly they came to an isolated mountain setting‚ known as Los Alamos

A secret military project files for the Manhattan Project: started in 1942. The production of the first Untied States nuclear weapon‚ was built during World War II. This product triggered the beginning of the Manhattan Project. A great population located in New York‚ feared of Nazi soldiers and what was about to come of them. Serving as lead director‚ Robert Oppenheimer was in motion of the Manhattan Project. The project was to recruit some of the best mathematicians‚ scientists‚ and engineers.

The Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb that it produced helped bring an end to World War II. The Manhattan Project was the code name for the effort to develop atomic weapons for the United States during World War II. Not only did it push other countries to develop nuclear weapons‚ with the potential of annihilating millions of lives‚ but it also caused much civil unrest as many Americans feared another war‚ only with the outcome being much more devastating. At this time in history‚ 1941 to 1945

In fact‚ many never found out until the end of the project. “It is one of the most extraordinary aspects of the Manhattan Project that the existence of an atomic-bomb building program was successfully kept secret from the very people who worked in the plants that supplied the necessary fissionable material” (Monk 343).
