Not much, they started a project on nuclear bombs but estimated they would win the war before a bomb could be finished. So they scaled the project back to basic research on reactors, with the goal of build power reactors after the war was won.
In what country was the plan devised to create an atomic bomb?
Fear that the Nazis might construct one first.
The Manhattan Project .
Atomic bomb China
Manhattan Project
The atomic bomb. They were racing against the allied forces of NATO to create the destructive weapon first. They ended up losing the race, and the war, as the scientists in America were the first to successfully make an atomic bomb.
Nobody.It was Leo Szilard, a Hungarian who had invented the Atomic Bomb in 1933 while living in London that wrote a letter to FDR about the risk if the Nazis built the atomic bomb first, then had Einstein sign it. The Szilard-Einstein letter eventually started the Manhattan Project.
Leo Szilard, the inventor of the atomic bomb (patent GB630726), did not build it himself. He wrote a letter that he had Albert Einstein sign and send to president FDR warning of the potential of atomic bombs and that the Nazis were probably working on them already. If the Nazis got atomic bombs first the Allied cause was lost. FDR authorized funds for a study, the study recommended a full program be begun under direction of the Army. This program became the Manhattan Project, which built the bomb. Leo Szilard was one of hundreds of scientists employed by the Manhattan Project during WW2.
The American atomic bomb was built mostly by German Jewish scientists who escaped Nazi oppression to America. According to Time magazine, the Nazis would've had their nuke built before America if they hadn't lost the war.
Their project to build an atomic bomb started before the US, but because of several mistakes in experiments and calculations the priority was lowered and the project redirected to only building power reactors after the war.
Yes, theory is that he blew it up to get revenge on his ex business partner Maximillian Rose. Good things is, because he blew it up Nazis didn't get their hands on the atomic bomb, and execute Hitler's Plan.
Actually it was a Jewish scientist who fled the Nazis with a team of scientists and physicists. He name was Robert Oppenheimer.
