When was the atomic bomb manufactured?
The conception and the development of the atomic bombs were started in 1942 when Einstein contacted Roosevelt to warn him the Germans were dabbling in atomic bomb ideas. It was completely manufactured and ready to drop in 1945.
Which US President did Einstein warn of the dangers of Gemany acquiring the atomic bomb?
Harry Truman.
What did the leaflet dropped after the first atomic bomb in World War 2 warn Japan to do?
Probably, "Leave the City, NOW!"
Why did the US commit genocide by dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagaski?
The Americans believed that the Japanese would fight them every mile of the way to the homeland and that American forces would suffer many casualties, There is also the thought that America wanted to punish Japan for Pearl Harbour and also to warn the Soviets that they could be next if they became aggressive.
Did the US warn Japanese civilians before the droppings of the atomic bombs?
No, there was no warning, other than a request to the Japanese government that they surrender.
Did inventor of the atomic bomb commit suicide?
Although many people were involved in the development of the first atomic bombs, the man who first conceived of the nuclear chain reaction mechanism (in 1933) underlying the atomic bomb, and first foresaw its potential to be used as a weapon, was a Hungarian physicist named Leó Szilárd, who had fled to London to escape Nazi persecution. After discovering that uranium could carry such a nuclear chain reaction, he sent a letter (also signed by Albert Einstein) to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging the government to create a research project to develop a nuclear weapons. The result was the Manhattan Project, which in 1945, exploded the world's first atomic bomb. Leó Szilárd, along with many other scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, opposed the actual use of the atomic bomb in war, and hoped that by merely by showing the tremendous power of the bomb, they could force the surrender of Germany and Japan. He was horrified that the bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He did not commit suicide, but he did stop researching nuclear physics -- in 1947, two years after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he changed fields and became a molecular biologist. He continued to warn of the danger of nuclear weapons until his natural death in 1964.
Does a cop have to warn you before he tasers you?
a cop does not have to warn you before tasing you. he might warn if you don't calm down right away.
Who did Albert Einstein warn about the bomb the Germans were making?
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Why did Einstein urge Franklin Roosevelt to authorize research on atomic weapons?
Einstein received word from colleagues that Nazi Germany might have been researching atomic weapon technology at the time. Einstein felt that it was his duty to warn the Americans that Germany might be developing their own atomic bomb at the time, and that America should rush to beat the Germans to the bomb. He met and wrote President Franklin Roosevelt to give these warnings. As a result of these meetings, the Manhattan Project was initiated to develop an atomic bomb before Germany did.Additional InformationActually, Einstein had no part in composing the famous letter to FDR. It was put together by Hungarian scientists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. Once it was done, however, the Hungarians felt that the letter would receive a better reception if it bore the signature of the eminent Albert Einstein.
Was a leaflet dropped on Nagasaki before the bomb was dropped to warn everybody to evacuate?
AnswerLeaflets were dropped on many of the major cities in Japan. Along with the official word to the Japanese government that terrible destruction would be rained down upon the cities of Japan if they did not surrender. What is very telling is that Nagasaki was the second city to be bombed with the atomic bomb.
Why did the US not warn before dropping two atomic bombs in August 1945?
mostly to reduce the chance the japanese would attack the lightly armed and unescorted bombers delivering the bombs.
Who came up with the idea to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.
