The success of this project ultimately ended WWII when they were unloaded on Japan. It was based in the US and got its named after the idea was formed in Manhattan in 1942. Major General Eugene Reybold selected James Marshall to head the army's part in the planning in June of 1942. The project was headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, while laboratories existed in New Mexico and California. The operation was kicked off when Albert Einstein warned about Germany's nuclear weapons and suggested that the US began working on their own program. The four scientists behind the actual bomb were Edward Teller, Eugene Wigner, John von Neumann, and Leo Szilard. The Trinity Test was the first nuclear weapon detonation when the bomb was officially tested. Two bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Japan surrendered soon thereafter. These bombs leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki destroying everything within a 1 mile radius of the blast while only using 1.7% of its potential energy. In my opinion, the atomic bombs needed to be dropped in order to end the war as the war in the Pacific theater was becoming a stalemate]]> 2018-03-23 01:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20dygena/97mzd2jrradb/wish/245292713 20dygena https://padlet.com/20dygena/97mzd2jrradb/wish/245296296 The Holocaust was the mass extermination of Jewish people in Hitler's Final Solution. The Nuremberg laws stripped Jews of their basic rights as citizens as they were forced out of Germany. The Jews fit into what was known as the undesirables that were not a part of Hitler's Aryan race. This included disabled, Jews, and many others that could be blamed for Germany's problems. The Jews fit because they were mostly bankers that Hitler blamed for the poor economic status. The Final Solution was Hitler's plan to rid Germany of all Jewish peoples and establish a superior race that would make Germany more powerful and respected. In order to do this, he sent Jews out of Germany. Those that did not leave were thrown into concentration camps to be put to work or executed. The US found the concentration camps in Germany they charged Germany with crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg Trials were a series of trials held against the losers of WWII. Many executive Nazi officers were executed for crimes against humanity including their involvement in the Holocaust and execution of Jews.]]> 2018-03-23 01:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/20dygena/97mzd2jrradb/wish/245296296 20dygena https://padlet.com/20dygena/97mzd2jrradb/wish/245300017 Women played a tremendous part in the war effort even though they did none of the actual combat and strategy. While men went off to fight a brutal war, women took their jobs in the factories and increased production of aircraft and other military weapons and weapons. Their involvement in this war proved that they could maintain factory jobs and should be treated with the same amount of respect as en in the same job]]> 2018-03-23 01:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20dygena/97mzd2jrradb/wish/245300017
