Imagine you have a small child, son or daughter. They’re just playing in the park all calm and you see a small speck in the distance hit the ground. Immediately a mile high mushroom cloud emerges from the ground. That is the last thing you see, before you and your child were vaporized instantly. These atomic bombs are unmeasurable in their destructive capabilities. They take a massive chunk out of each country’s budget when that money could be focused on helping the countries people. Also the hidden organization that these weapons were made was in one of the biggest populated cities, Manhattan.
To start, The Manhattan Project, was staged out of one of the biggest, and populated cities, Manhattan, New York. Some beg the question, what if something

To remember those people in the park. All that’s left of them, a shadowed outline on the cement. Those are the lucky ones, the ones in the park with the grass, nothing. Even if some people made it, half of them would be blind by the brightness of the bomb. They could’ve even later died from the radiation, no one would’ve known. Who is to speak for them.
The trinity test was a test for the atomic bomb before they put them in planes and shipped them overseas. This test was dangerous and would have killed people. Military officials rested the bomb atop a steel structure or tower which was where they were going to set
off the bomb. The detonation was set for 4:00 on July 16, 1945 but it was raining at this time so they delayed it to 5:30, July 16, 1945. The bomb went off and some say that the scientists at the site, lost their hearing from not knowing what it was like.
Therefore I believe that the atomic bomb was too destructive in its abilities. It is dangerous and toxic for the aftermath, the Manhattan project had too much money in it’s budget, and we detonated a bomb that could level a city on American
In 1942 Major General Leslie Groves began direction of the Manhattan project, a 4 year project created to make nuclear weaponry. It was headquartered out of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, but they had many locations across the United States and Canada. Some say that the Us should have dropped the Atomic bomb because of the unknown amount of people who could have died if we didn’t stop. Although, The United States shouldn’t have dropped the atomic bomb because of the cost of life, the health effects on survivors, and it pushed us into an arms race with Russia.
In August of 1945, the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima in
After six months of the United States attacking Japanese cities using bombs with the United Kingdom, and China, and the Japanese go as far as to use suicide bombers to change the events of the war, the United States called for japan to surrender. But the Japanese government was too honorable to surrender in time of war and ignored the Potsdam Declaration. Created by brilliant scientists, the bomb which was Original’s purpose was to be used against Nazi Germany was to be used to end the war. The bomb which could wipe a city off the surface of the map and cause long time damage was first atomic test was in New Mexico which Exploded with the force of 67 million sticks of dynamite. The flash from the explosion could be seen from over 10 miles away
The launching of the bomb during the summer of August was delayed due to the wet weather. Then by August 6th the first bomb was detonated over Hiroshima, which would cause many to go through cancer and have birth deformities. More than 800,000 perished from the site of the blast. However, Prime Minister Suzuki and Emperor Hirohito were still holding their ground. They did not want to take any action before the full report on Hiroshima was in. Consequently, the US was ready to strike again in order to force Japan to comply to their utter defeat. Nagasaki would be another target on their list even though Kokura was initially on their list, but the weather caused
In August of 1945, two nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan, consequently, killing tens of thousands of civilians due to radiation, burns, or turning them immediately into ash. The monstrous bomb sneaks up on innocent civilians and rips their life from them in one foul swoop. The Atomic bomb kills masses of people at one time, but can also save masses of people’s lives from the ongoing war. Herein lies the conflict, since the nuclear bomb is extremely lethal, but effective, should it be used in war? Do you believe that this act was ethical? The atomic bomb should have never been used in past wars and should never be used today because its deadly side effects.
The atomic bomb had such an excess amount of energy it makes one question the reason or absolute need to use such tremendous force. May be slightly too much power than should be needed.
The Manhattan Project was one of the most notorious and catastrophic projects in United State history. A bomb that took years to perfect and made the U.S. gamble millions of dollars on new technology that wasn't certain to work. All the secretive facilities scattered all over the U.S. contributed to the creation of a futuristic weapon of mass destruction beyond anyone’s imagination. The atomic bomb caused thousands to die and left years of remnant radiations. The Manhattan Project will forever remain as one of the greatest “successful” catastrophic discoveries in human history.
Thesis Statement: The Manhattan Project was the American program for researching and developing the first atomic bombs because of the project it cost a lot of people their lives.
The Manhattan project was an organization that was formed to make mass weapons of war. It was formed in fear of the Germans, and we used the project to make first atomic bomb. The first atomic was done “under the direction of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.” His research “ushered in the atomic age”, and his group helped us make the first atomic bombs
The Manhattan Project was a research and development project that produced the first nuclear weapons during World War II. The Manhattan project was the invention of the first two nuclear bombs, Fat man and little boy. These two bombs were dropped on Japanese islands to end World War II.
The bomb exploded with the power of 22,000 tons of TNT and 70,000 people died in 1945 from the bomb.
Before the bombs were set off over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, a test bomb was detonated in the desert lands of New Mexico. The scientists involved in the research and fruition of this weapon were holding their breaths to see if it worked. They were not concerned with how many potential lives their creation could end, they were only interested in seeing if all of their hard work and two billion dollars in funding would pay off. Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer was credited with the idea of using the atomic bomb as a military weapon. If the bomb worked the intention was to use it to end lives, but as they watched in anticipation to see if the
It was dropped on August 9, 1945. It leveled 6.7km2 of land and killed 74,000 people by the end of 1945. The temperature on the ground reached 4000℃ and induced radioactive rain to pour down.
The Manhattan Project was to see if making an atomic bomb possible. The success of this project would forever change the world forever making it known that something this powerful can be manmade. The Manhattan Project’s success was something that had an impact on everybody involved since they helped create something with so much destructive power it could destroy a city within seconds.
In 1941, The United States began an atomic bomb program called the “Manhattan Project.” The main objective of the “Manhattan Project” was to research and build an atomic bomb before Germany could create and use one against the allied forces during World War II. German scientists had started a similar research program four years before the United States began so the scientists of the “Manhattan Project” felt a sense of urgency throughout their work (Wood “Men … Project”).
