Why was the Manhatten project used?

Many Scientists came form Europe to create the atomic bomb, because of Hitler and all that. Albert Einstein was the one who first informed Franklin D. Roosevelt about the idea. When Roosevelt died Harry S. Truman (vice president) stepped in. While all of that was happening; they were still in war with Japan. To make Japan surrender; Truman decided to use the atomic bomb against Japan. They first bombed Hiroshima with a uranium bomb they called "Little Boy". Then when Japan still didn't surrender; Truman decided to also bomb Nagasaki. With a plutonium bomb they called "Fat Man". And that's why (:


What did the us plan if they did not use the atomic bomb on d-day?

Nobody used or even thought of an atomic bomb for D-Day. D-Day was basically a huge invasion of Allied troops to beat the German Armies in Europe. - The Atomic Bomb came over a year later in Japan ( The opposite side of the world from Europe) and had nothing at all to do with D-Day.- Sounds like someone needs to read their history books !

Did anybody survive the Hiroshima's atomic bomb?

Yes. About 172,000.The cities population was about 340,000 in 1945. When the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima the death toll came to 168,000.Note: I visited the Atomic Bomb Memorial site in Hiroshima. It is a very sobering experience of what the atomic bomb can do. There is hardly anything left standing in the city at the epicenter of the explosion. People were completely vaporized. Many people died in the explosion, but 10,000's more died afterward because of radiation caused infections.
