The Campaign That Ended World War II: The Manhattan Project
The Manhattan Project was a top-secret research and development project that produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. The project was led by the United States with the help of the United Kingdom and Canada. The project was named after the Manhattan Engineer District, which was the administrative division of the US Army that oversaw the project.

The Manhattan Project was started in 1942, after Albert Einstein and other scientists wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him that Nazi Germany was working on developing an atomic bomb. Roosevelt authorized the creation of the Manhattan Project, and the project was given a budget of \$2 billion. The project was led by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The Manhattan Project was a massive undertaking, and it involved the work of over 130,000 people. The project was divided into three main parts: the development of the atomic bomb, the production of the atomic bomb, and the delivery of the atomic bomb. The development of the atomic bomb was carried out at Los Alamos, New Mexico. The production of the atomic bomb was carried out at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Hanford, Washington. The delivery of the atomic bomb was carried out by the US Army Air Forces.
The Manhattan Project was a success, and the United States developed two types of atomic bombs: a uranium bomb and a plutonium bomb. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and a second atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The atomic bombs caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and led to the surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945. The Manhattan Project ended World War II.
The Legacy of the Manhattan Project
The Manhattan Project had a profound impact on the world. The development of the atomic bomb led to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The atomic bomb also raised questions about the ethics of using nuclear weapons. The Manhattan Project is a reminder of the power of science and the importance of using it responsibly.
