The Atomic Bomb (or A-Bomb as it is sometimes known) was developed by a team of researchers working for the Manhattan Project. Members of this team included Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer, as well as its military supervisor, General Leslie Groves. Albert Einstein also contributed to the project, having laid out the basic concept for the bomb in a letter to President Roosevelt.
Over the course of six years, from 1939 to 1945, more than $2 billion was spent during the history of the Manhattan Project. The formulas for refining uranium and putting together a working atomic bomb were created and seen to their logical ends by some of the greatest minds of our time. Chief among the people who unleashed the power of the atom was Robert Oppenheimer, who oversaw the project from conception to completion.
It should be noted that because of the complexities of the atomic bomb -- Mr. Oppenheimer was not singular in the invention but identified as the leader.
Leo Szilard in 1933 in London conceived the basic principle (but no materials were known that could make it work at the time). He was issued a British patent for the invention in 1934, which he signed over to the Admiralty in 1936 to protect it from the Nazis.
However it took the discovery that Uranium-235 was fissile in Germany in 1938 to make Szilard's invention practical. Followed by the efforts of thousands in the US on the Manhattan Project to turn Szilard's invention into a working device.
The first atomic bombs were developed by the US during World War II (1939-1945) under a military program called the Manhattan Project, which included physicists from many parts of Europe and the world, and was directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. --- Albert Einstein's formula E = mc2 suggested the energy that atomic fission would release. But Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was test detonated at Alamogordo, NM. The two other prototype bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6th and August 9th. Physicists who contributed to the development of the bomb included Leo Szilard, Philip Morrison, Hans Bethe, John Van Vleck, Felix Bloch, Emil Konopinski, Robert Serber, Stanley S. Frankel, Eldred C. Nelson, Edward Teller, And Enrico Fermi. The military officer in charge of building atomic weapons was General Leslie Groves. (see related link)
I think I remember. It was Albert Einstein who did. First they tested it in the Mexico Desert and then dropped 2 nukes(atomic bombs), one in Hiroshima, and the other in Nagasaki. Just to tell you a little FunFact, did you know that the Hiroshima bomb's name was "Little Boy" and the one dropped on Nagasaki was called "Fat Man"?
there is really no creator, all of the ally countries came together in Mexico at a top secret lab and discussed how they would use the bombs before making them!
The atom bomb Fat Man was dropped on Hiroshima. The atom bomb Little Boy was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
It was actually the atom bomb from the Manhattan project. It was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945 (that one was a uranium bomb) And dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945 (a stronger plutonium bomb)
The atomic bomb was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, but it took the Manhattan Project (1942 to 1947) to actually build the first ones.
in world war 2 the atom bomb little boy was dropped over hiroshima, japan on the sixth of august 1945 and the second atom bomb was dropped over nagasaki, japan 3 days later.
Two bombs were dropped, Both on the mainland of Japan. One bomb was dropped at Hiroshima on August 6th with the other one being dropped three days later at Nagasaki.
The atom bomb Fat Man was dropped on Hiroshima. The atom bomb Little Boy was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.

it was dropped in Japan
The bomb killed thosands of people in Hiroshima and Nagisoki.

The US dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and told them they would drop another if Japan did not surrender. They didn't surrender, so the US dropped a second atom bomb. The US then told Japan that they would send a THIRD atom bomb (which they actually didn't have. It was a HUGE bluff), and luckily for mankind, the Japanese DID surrender.
