Why did the US decide to make an atomic bomb?

Answer 1

The US developed the atomic bomb because we had a reasonable fear that the Nazis were developing the atomic bomb and might at any moment use it on either the UK or USSR to force them to surrender. Eventually the Nazis would threaten the US with them too.

What was unknown was that the Nazi atomic bomb program had already stalled (due to several scientific errors) and been changed to a low priority reactor prototype development project that was to be expanded after the Nazis won the war to build nuclear power plants.

Ways to Fight a ColdIf the cough has lasted more than 3 - 4 days and is deep within the chest please see your doctor. You don't want to get Bronchitis, Pneumonia or a sinus infection. Your doctor may prescribe something to keep the airways open and clear, but there is nothing to get rid of an actual cold.The natural source my grandmother brought my brother and I up on was Brandy (just a teaspoon when we were kids) with 2 tsps. of honey and boiling water and we'd sip on this. Keep the room cooler as warm to hot rooms can dry out the air. Keep yourself warm by wearing sweaters or cuddle up under a warm blanket. If you have no control over the heat then put bowls of water around (you'll be surprised at how quickly it evaporates) or if you can afford it get a humidifier. Sleep propped up a little so your sinus' don't drain down the back of your throat (this can cause a sore throat.) If your immune system is strong the immune system deals with the cold on it's own time.
