The first Nuclear Bomb was made in 1945.

Robert Oppenheimer led the "Manhattan Project", codename used for the ultra secret project in order to build a new weapon before Nazi Germany. The programm began in 1942. Roosevelt deciding to give nuclear power to the US after Pearl Harbour attack (7 decembre 1941).

Hundreds of scientists participated in the elaboration of the Bomb, each of them only knowing the specific part of his work. The whole project being only known by highest generals, Oppenheimer and President Roosevelt.
