The use of the atomic bombs on Japan was necessary
for the revenge of the Americans. These bombs took
years to make due to a problematic equation. The
impact of the bombs killed hundreds of thousands
of people and the radiation is still killing
people today. People today still wonder why the
bombs were dropped. If these bombs werent dropped
on the Japanese the history of the world would
have been changed forever. The Atomic bomb took 6
years to develop (1939 - 1945) for scientists to
work on a e...

the Dark Ages. " Chair of the Joint Chiefs of

German scientists." World famous Niels Bohr of
Copenhagen and Enrico Fermi of Rome, both Nobel
prize winners, acclaim this experiment as one of
the most important in recent years. Fermi now
realized that his new element 93 had been a
product of splitting the uranium atom. At this

Chicago under the direction of Arthur Holly
Compton. Key members of the research team were
Enrico Fermi and J. Robert Oppenheimer. Shortly

World War II. It was named after the Manhattan
Engineer District of the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers, because a lot of it's earlier research
was done in New York City. An atomic bomb is a
weapon that uses the energy from a nuclear
reaction called Fission for its destruction. The

World War Ii Bomb Was Dropped
1,132 words
The atomic bomb is a powerful, explosive nuclear
weapon. It is fueled by the fission of the nuclei
of specific amounts of plutonium or uranium, in a
chain reaction. The strength of the explosion
created by one of these bombs is equal to the
strength of an explosion created by thousands of
tons of TNT. To detonate one of these bombs,
enough mass of plutonium or uranium must be
provided to reach what is known as "critical mass.
" Critical mass is the mass at which the nuclear
reactions going on in...

An Examination of the Causes, Morality, and Demise
of American Civil Defense While there are
conflicting and overlapping reasons as to why
civil defense became an important issue in America
in the 1950 s and 1960 s, the fact remains that
Americans became obsessed with civil protection
and the threat of thermonuclear war. This took the
form of general preparation for an attack, such as
the construction of bomb shelters, stockpiling of
food supplies, perfecting emergency drills in
schools and home...

End The War Atomic Bombs

DROPPING OF ATOMIC BOMBS President Truman faced a
hugely difficult decision when he had to make the
choice of whether or not to drop two atomic bombs
over Japan. After much thought and consideration
on his part, he came to the conclusion that the
bombs would be dropped. Hiroshima and Nagasaki
were the chosen places, two residential and
productive areas of Japan where several innocent
civilians lived. Although that may have seemed
like the only way to end the war quickly, there
could have been an...

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg The outcome of the
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg trial for espionage in
1951 and their subsequent execution in 1953 was
directly related to the political climate at that
time. The government? s evidence against the
Rosenberg's was not overwhelming, but due to a
combination of fear and political pressure, the
guilty verdict was inevitable. Even though Julius
did not deliver the secrets of the atomic bomb to

The Decision to Drop the Bomb Our century has been
dominated by a continuing expansion of military
knowledge, but perhaps the weapon which had the
most impact was the atomic bomb. It ended a world
war, and inspired many to search of the secret of
atomic weaponry. The A-bomb has inspired much
controversy. From the time it was first dropped,
to the present, people have been discussing if the
bomb should have been used or not. It is my
opinion that bomb should have been dropped. Karl
