Throughout the world during the World War II era, some people were opposed to the conflict on religious and moral grounds, while others fundamentally believed that the political differences between the Axis Powers and the Western Allies did not necessitate war (even at the expense of the sovereignty of nations already occupied by the Axis). In America, a strong isolationist sentiment dominated until 1941, with many Americans believing that the war did not pose any threat to American security. Furthermore, numerous Americans believed that domestic troubles within America's borders should take priority over any overseas involvements by American military forces.

Who was a help in the atomic bomb project?
well, the atomic bomb research was done by Robert oppenheimer. the original creation or idea was from albert Einstein
What is the main idea of hiroshima the book?
Well, I don't know if this will help or not, but I believe the main idea is how there can be such fortunate people after such a tragic event. The 6 people described in the book were among the survivors of the atomic bomb in 1945, and their stories were very different and worth telling, compared to those others that survived.
Pluses on dropping the atomic bomb on japan?
We had a unit on this subject in American history. The reason we dropped the bomb on japan was to end the war quickly and to save as many soldier casualties as possible. In my opinion it was a bad idea for it killed many more this way.
Who invented hydrogen bomb?
There are a few who claim the idea, but president Harry Truman first approved one to be built for the Korean war, 1950-1953. Richard Lawrence Garwin, American physicist, produced a design in 1952 at IBM Watson Laboratory at Columbia University.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The original ideas for the hydrogen bomb came up early in the Manhattan Project, but it is unknown who first proposed them.Edward Teller became fixated on the idea of the hydrogen bomb and the only way that Oppenheimer could get Teller to continue doing any work on the atomic bomb and stop taking other scientists away from their critical atomic bomb tasks to work on Teller's hydrogen bomb ideas was to just let him work on his hydrogen bomb ideas and just contact Teller as needed to consult on the atomic bomb work.Edward Teller completed his first hydrogen bomb design, which he called "The Super" in the fall of 1945. This design was tested by numerical simulation on the newly completed ENIAC in december 1945 through january 1946, and shown to be not workable. Further work on hydrogen bomb designs was effectively suspended (although Edward Teller was allowed to continue "dabbling" at designing one).In 1950 Stanislaw Ulam (a mathematician working with a team on producing higher yield more efficient atomic bombs) went to consult with Teller on an idea his team had proposed to use the explosion of one atomic bomb to compress and trigger a second atomic bomb. Teller suddenly realized this was the idea he needed to make his "Super" bombs work: use an atomic bomb not just to heat his hydrogen bomb (as he had done in all earlier designs) but to compress his hydrogen bomb too. Computer numerical simulations confirmed this would work. Serious design work on hydrogen bombs resumed at Los Alamos.The first hydrogen bomb using the new "Teller-Ulam" design was built and tested in 1952, but by then Teller was fed up with his working arrangements at Los Alamos and quit. He convinced the military and AEC that they needed a second nuclear weapons development lab that he would have absolute control over. Slightly later in 1952 Lawrence Livermore Labs opened with Edward Teller as director.
Did president truman make the correct decision in using the atomic bomb?
Truman had no idea the atomic bomb was being developed. He was not even vice president when president Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the development of the atomic bomb on October 9, 1941 after a meeting with Vannevar Bush and then vice president Henry A. Wallace. At this time the United States was not even officially involved in WW2. Truman was first informed of the development of the atomic bomb by secretary of war Henry L. Stimson shortly after Franklin D. Roosevelt died in April 1945 only months before the first atomic bomb was tested. Effectively the atomic bomb was already completely developed before Truman was even aware of it, all that remained to be done was proof testing and combat use (and Franklin D. Roosevelt had already put the military wheels in action before his death for selection of target cities in Japan, although this selection process was not complete until late May 1945).
Which country developed the atomic bomb?
We developed the first working atomic bomb but, GER. made up the idea.
Why didn't people want the US to drop the atomic bomb on japan?
Because even in the U.S. and Japan everyone hated the idea because an atomic bomb could kill everyone including children.
Why did the atomic bomb go obsolete?
What gave you that idea? It isn't obsolete in any way. In fact every Hydrogen bomb contains an Atomic bomb as its primary stage.
Who was a help in the atomic bomb project?
well, the atomic bomb research was done by Robert oppenheimer. the original creation or idea was from albert Einstein
Why are cockroaches so resilient?
No Idea! But I heard they can survive an atomic bomb.
What is the main idea of hiroshima the book?
Well, I don't know if this will help or not, but I believe the main idea is how there can be such fortunate people after such a tragic event. The 6 people described in the book were among the survivors of the atomic bomb in 1945, and their stories were very different and worth telling, compared to those others that survived.
When the first atomic bomb did not drop what did the us do?
Both atomic bombs dropped on Japan were successful. What gave you the idea they weren't?
What is an idea starting with an a?
The automobile, air conditioning, airplane, alarm clock, answering machine and atomic bomb are ideas that people developed into an invention. They begin with the letter a.
Did Einstein like the idea of the atomic bomb?
None of the men involved with making "the bomb" were happy about it. They, more than any other living human being knew what doors they had opened (the atomic age).
Who is the first who invented the atomic bomb?
Leo Szilard. Einstein came up with the idea though, I think.
Who were the scientists who first knew of atomic power aka atomic bomb?
Physicists world wide knew about the possibility for atomic power and atomic blast. They knew about it long before the Manhattan Project developed atomic power and atomic bombs. It was Physicist Einstien who wrote a letter to FDR to let him know there was evidence of the Germans looking into the idea of building an atomic bomb.
The scientist from Germany that brought the idea of an atomic bomb to the us was?
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.
