Only one man invented the atomic bomb: Leo Szilard, a Hungarian Jew. He did it in 1933 while crossing a London street while trying to think of more efficient ways to transmute elements. He patented it in 1934. But it took 12 more years, several discoveries, millions of calculations using both sliderules and electromechanical punchcard machines, and the work of thousands of men and women from dozens of nations to construct the massive industrial infrastructure needed to begin making them.

Why did MacArthur want to drop the atomic bomb on China?
I don't see anything as of yet saying he "wanted" to drop the bomb though I did find a funny quote he is credited with that goes like this. 'Summer 1945: in Manila to plan invasions of Japan in October, 1945. Is stunned when the atomic bomb ends the war abruptly, quoted that "this apparatus will make men like me obsolete". ' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur I tell you what happened.....during the Korean War we had the north Koreans pushed up against a resivour. Now during Christmas the Chineas new that we celebrate Christmas and attacked us. After some fighting we surrouned them and MacArthur said that if China attacked us again that he would drop 3 H-Bombs on 3 major chinease citys. Prez Truman didnt allow that thow....
Who developed the atomic bomb?
The US Army's Manhattan Project under the military leadership of General Leslie Groves and the scientific directorship of Robert Oppenheimer (the two men in the image above). The project spent two billion dollars, mostly on building factories and other atomic infrastructure, and employed more than 130,000 people at sites scattered across the US.It is a common misconception that Albert Einstein was part of the Manhattan Project. As a pacifist he refused to perform any war related work and the US Army security would never have granted him the necessary security clearances (they refused to grant Robert Oppenheimer these clearances and it took a direct order from General Groves to override this and get Oppenheimer cleared as Groves believed he was the only scientist that Groves could communicate with about the issues needed to make the project succeed).The only participation Einstein had was to sign a letter on August 2, 1939 previously written by Leo Szilard (who invented the atomic bomb in 1933 while in London, patent GB630726) addressed to president Franklin Roosevelt. After the letter was sent he knew nothing of whether the US was even studying it or not until he saw the August 6, 1945 newspaper headlines about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima that morning.
What were some of the after affects of dropping the atomic bomb?
They felt it was necessary in order to prevent an estimated 500 000 us soldiers' death as well as the Japanese soldiers. However, it was a heavy price 350 000 people died after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki only 150 000 lives would have actually been saved
Why didn't Japan want to surrender?
It depends on what your talking about. If your asking why they didn't surrender after the first atomic bomb, the answer is that America didn't give them time. They dropped the first bomb and then the second within days of the first.

What is follies?
One source stated that "Truman's Folly" was the Korean War. This may have been in reference to Truman's policy of "not fighting to win", which meant NOT USING THE "BOMB". US Military men who had WON World War Two, used any means available to do it; including the use of "the bomb" (Atomic Bomb). These same men wanted to use it again. The Soviets (Russians) had exploded (tested) their first A-Bomb in 1949; by the time of the Korean War in 1950, the Soviets now had "the bomb." President Truman had the foresight to realize that the world was now in the ATOMIC AGE, and that an Atomic War was not good...for anyone. Some of our military men where abit more traditional...and it took abit longer for the "Mutually Assured Destruction" mentality to sink into their minds. Translation: Truman was correct in not turning Korea into a nuclear war; but he may have been tagged with "Truman's Folly" because of it.

What were the cause of the atomic bomb?
When the war was over in Europe because Germany surrendered, the Allies wanted to end the war quick. However, Japan was still a strong force and occupied many islands surrounding it. The Allies, especially the United States, were losing thousands of men trying to conquer each island. The United States decided to create the atomic bomb to scare the Japan and make them surrender immediately. The U.S. did not want to lose anymore men by conquering small islands. The atomic bomb was made to end World War 2 quickly and save the lives of millions of Allied soldiers.

Why did Robert oppenheimer create the bomb?
The bomb was not made in 1939. It was made in 1945 at the end of WW2. Oppenheimer did not make the bomb, a very large group of scientists and technicians made the bomb. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the group. That is analogous to saying that a single person invented the rocket that took men to the moon.
