Then Roosevelt received the letter on October 10, 1939. Ten days later, the first meeting of the Advisory Committee on Uranium, the Biggs Uranium Committee, was held in Washington, D.C.

After all, there were countries whose rising powers not only threatened Europe, but the U.S. as well. The atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan’s surrender and the official ending of WWII.

On June 18, 1942, Colonel James Marshall of the Army Corps of the Engineers District moved the atomic bomb plans to a new group called the Manhattan Engineer District.

Mainstream companies contributed to the Manhattan Project.

On July 4, 1944, Oppenheimer showed plans of Emilio Segre’s fission measurements. These measurements led to a significant turning point in the Manhattan Project.

People were finding out about this secretive project but plutonium production hadn’t even started. A notable error occurred on September 26, 1944 when the first full-scale plutonium reactor was completed and loaded with uranium. Known as the B pile, it shut down for no reason. It then restarted the next day.

Could the U.S. have gone about it differently? Perhaps, but then again the bombs led directly to Japan’s surrender and the end of WWII. Japan was among of the few rising powers that posed a threat to the entire globe. This issue had to be addressed one way or another. However, this incident can never be compensated due to the fact that many Japanese lives were lost.
