Of all the combatant nations during WW2; only the US factories were not bombed or attacked. Japanese forces attacked the US in Alaska, and a Japanese airplane (submarine launched) bombed Brookings Oregon, and a Japanese I-Boat (sub) shelled Santa Barbara California with it's deck gun...but other than those attacks, the US was perfectly safe during WWII; and could produce anything without being harmed, destroyed, or otherwise interferred with.

Did Germany build the atomic bomb?
No, they never were able to complete it. They were trying but never had the capability to build it.
Why was the US able to develop an atomic bomb before anyone else?
We had the machinery and minds able to do what some primitive countries probably did not have at the time to develop the atomic bomb. Also we had resources capable of making such a weapon that other countries didn't.
When was the first nuclear bomb invented?
The atomic bomb was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard while crossing a street in London and patented the following year. For many reasons he was not able to build it at the time by himself.It took 12 years before the US was able to build the first atomic bombs and use them to end WW2.
What happened to babies after the atomic bomb?
My fav member of Atomic Babies just up and left. Pat Messinetti. If anyone knows how I might be able to reach him, it would be much appreciated.
Does anyone have an unused Bearville birth certificate?
yes, anyone who creates a bear at a build a bear workshop will be able to make one. Hope this answers your question.
Who were Roman landowners?
Roman landowners were anyone who owned land. At the beginning of the city, most of the landowners were of the patrician class, but over time other classes were able to purchase land and build villas and farm commercially.
Why did they build atomic bombs?
World War II was a very desperate struggle, and it was considered to be necessary to build the most powerful weapons possible, in order to ensure victory. There was also no way of knowing if the enemy was also working on an atomic bomb (or other terrible weapons), so it was better to be the first one to build it and to be able to win before the enemy came up with their own secret weapon.There was more to it than this. Fission was discovered in Germany in Dec. 1938 and the Nazis had the first government program to develop a bomb. Although many of their top physicists had been forced out, they still had plenty left including Nobel prize winner Warner Heisenberg, who headed the nuclear program. The U.S. had good reason to fear that Hitler would have the bomb before anyone else. They were far ahead in jet aircraft and rockets, yet never came close to exploding an atomic bomb.
What country invented the nuclear bomb?
Since Leo Szilard invented the atomic bomb in 1933 in London and patented it in 1934, I would have to say it was invented in England. But he was unable to build it at the time.It took another 12 years and a gigantic investment in industrial infrastructure before the US was able to build the first ones based on this patent.

How was sargon able to build the first empir?

What did Leo Szilard need to do in order to invent the atomic bomb?
As he did not have to build the atomic bomb, all that he had to do to invent the atomic bomb was to think.That is really all that is required for most inventions: think of a new and novel way to do something.What Leo Szilard invented that was new and novel was the neutron chain reaction, the process that in the atomic bomb drives the exponentially accelerating nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. However he did not know about either nuclear fission or what elements might be able to support the neutron chain reaction process that he invented. This took the work of others before the atomic bomb could actually be built.
