Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Cold War Spies During the late 1940’s and the early 1950’s, America began to find themselves in the middle of fear as the Cold War began to approach. Tensions began to grow between the two nations of the United States and Soviet Union. These tensions lasted for roughly seven years, which lead to international episodes. Leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin and leader of the United States Joseph Stalin had led their dictatorship into disaster. Both the United States

Great Personalities of World War II: Robert Oppenheimer July 16, 1945; 05:29:21 A.M Mountain Western Time: [1] a light stronger than a thousand suns filled the sky in the deserts of New Mexico, the father of the deadliest instrument ever used in warfare grimly remarked: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” The successful detonation of the first Atomic Bomb triggered an arms races beyond the scope of most people's imagination; it immediately and fundamentally changed the conduct of nations

nuclear facility just like Oak Ridge used to design and construct the nuclear parts of the bomb (¨Hanford¨). The Hanford plant played a key role in the Manhattan project by making big advances in the atomic bomb along with other cities including Los Alamos and Oak Ridge. January 16, 1943 was the day that General Leslie Groves endorsed Hanford as the proposed plutonium production site (“Hanford”). This meaning that the site was made official so the Hanford plant could produce plutonium for the project

(“Manhattan Project”). Eventually the U.S started this project which was kept in secrecy and under the radar. Where they set up shop was in Los Alamos, high in the mountains, which helped out with their secrecy (Crewe and Anderson 13). The head of this operation was J. Robert Oppenheimer, who told Groves that the Manhattan Project needed a central laboratory, where scientists could work together and design the Atomic Bomb (Crewe and Anderson 11). Throughout this project, J. Robert Oppenheimer, was

John Hopps was an electrical engineering that created one of the biggest discoveries known today, the pacemaker. Hopps made this discovery by mistake. At age 21, he started his extensive research at the University of Manitoba for hypothermia. He wanted to see if he can restore someone’s body temperature by using radio frequency. Little did he know, he made a big discovery. He learned that someone could mechanical restart a heart after it has reached a certain temperature. So, he took his discovery

The Imitation game is an American Historical drama was directed by Morten tyldum. The movie was all about Alan Turing and hi works. Prominent members in the film were Alan Turing, his wife and other members. Alan Turing role was done by Benedict Cumberbatch. His wife role was done by Keira Knightley. Remaining Characters roles were done by Matthew Goode, Charles Dance, Mark strong and Rroy Kinnear. It is a historical drama. The scenes were shot at Bletchley Park located in Milton Keynes, England

While looking for a boat to carry the severely injured across the river, Mr Tanimoto “… Found a good-sized pleasure punt drawn up on the bank… five dead men, nearly naked, badly burned…” (Hersey, 37) near it, he “… lifted the men away from the boat… he experienced such horror at disturbing the dead…” (Hersey, 37). On August 6, 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to end the war between them. Hiroshima, by John Hersey is a book about six survivors

The Creation of the Worlds Deadliest Bomb The research for a weapon which could end the world’s most devastating war World War II started almost immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor got sneak attacked by Japan which entered the United States to the allied side of World War II. In 1938 some german scientists discovered that if you bombard Uranium with neutrons you could split the Nucleus of an atom. When the war started scientists thought about military uses of this new

The Trinity Project was a project conducted to test the effects of a nuclear weapon. The Trinity nuclear device was detonated on a 100-foot tower on the Alamogordo Bombing Range in south-central New Mexico at 0530 hours on 16 July 1945. (Rohrer, 1995-2003). This project was organized by the Manhattan Engineer District (MED). This organization worked diligently planning and coordinating all of the logistics for the groundbreaking event. From 1945-1946 over 1000 personnel either worked or visited

The Manhattan Project led by J. Robert Oppenheimer was the sole responsibility of the most destructive, but a most productive exploration of energy in the history of man- producing the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, arguably started the war-like encounter, the cold war, sparking conflicts and bills that would affect future for centuries to come, and starting a nuclear arms race between the United States and Russia. Firstly, with substantiation from the many lives claimed by the
