J. Robert Oppenheimer

The Manhattan Conspiracy: [Subtitle] From September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945 the world was at war. Germany rose to power and invaded Poland, later declaring war on France and Great Brittan. Benito Mussolini (fascist dictator of Italy) joined the Axis powers and on December 7th 1941, after the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor, so would the Japanese empire. The war lasted 6 bloody years costing approximately 60 million people were killed: men; women; children; the old; the young; military and civilian

The laboratory would be constructed in Los Alamos, New Mexico and was given the name Los Alamos Laboratory, or LAL. Oppenheimer was entrusted to design not one, but two different bombs. The successful result of these efforts was observed after the building and design of the fission bomb, also known as atomic bomb or atom bomb, when a field test was required to assess the

The US did not want to give up any territory to the USSR like they did with Europe, so the US had to attempt to end the war themselves prior to the ninety days. To end the war between the US and Japan prior to the agreed date by the USSR, J. Robert Oppenheimer invented something that would later murder 105,000 people and injure 94,000 more.

In the morning of July 16, 1945, the very first nuclear explosion took place in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This one very specific explosion was the first test of the most damaging weapon ever known to man. These explosive devices took almost six years to research and develop. It took a team of hand selected of the world’s top scientists. This collaboration was famously known as the Manhattan Project. Less than a month after the test, President Truman dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. These weapons

One may ask the question, “Why did small countries want to start wars with countries that were world powers?” Grant it, the U. S. become an independent country by starting a war with the world’s largest empire, Britain, during the 1700s. One may see it like a small boy picking a fight with the biggest boy in school, maybe the individual wanted respect or he did not want others to bully him. So, why did Japan start a war with the U. S.? Japan definitely had a large enough military, about 1,000,000

The power of God, all in a push of a button. Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, powerful, barbaric weapons ever used and made in human history. They have the capability of wiping out populations of people, destroying entire ecosystems, tearing down cities in a matter of seconds. These weapons are unlike any other for they are unique in their tenacious, dispersing, genetically damaging radioactive after effects. They are so powerful that even the use of tens or hundreds of nuclear bombs would

bell. This dismal picture is ". . . a tiger which must be looked at without flinching," (Looking the Tiger in the Eye, 1982). The purpose behind which we must analyze the issue of atomic weapons, is best expressed in the expressions of J. Robert Oppenheimer, ". . . until we have looked at this tiger without flinching, we might ever be in the to top it all off conceivable threats, of which we may again into him." In an endeavor to avert ourselves from support into this famous tiger, we will

explosion was estimated to be a blast of about 10,000 tons of TNT. The Atomic bomb’s intense and destructive power frightened many scientists who were working on the Manhattan Project (Knebel 78). Including the father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer felt as if he had created something that would bring forth destruction to the world, instead of using his brilliant scientific mind to improve and usher the world into an era of peace like he intended to. In fact, many scientists within

the B-29 bomber , Enola Gay, carrying the destructive Atomic Bomb headed to Japan. he bomb was strategically dropped over the "dense population area" of the city. Only three days after the first attack, the US dropped another massive bomb on Japan. Both bombings exterminated between 129,000 and 226,000 lives in the first week. The sources information differ greatly from each other as the bomb has given no corpses as evidence. The number of casualties can therefore only be estimated. It was a significant

- Analyse the impact of anti-communism in the USA from the late 1940’s to 1953 and the impact this had on tensions between the superpowers during this time. In the years between 1940 and 1953 the capitalist nations of the world such as USA became very concerned about the communist ideologies and its possible spread in the world. As a result, the ideological war period known as the “Cold War” was developed. With the end of World War II, the USA emerged with a renewed sense of confidence as
