The Manhattan Project was a secret U.S. government research and development initiative during World War II, aimed at developing atomic bombs. Launched in 1942, it involved collaboration between scientists, military personnel, and engineers, with key sites in Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford. The project culminated in the creation of two atomic bombs, which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of the war. The Manhattan Project significantly advanced nuclear physics and had profound implications for international relations and warfare in the subsequent Cold War era.
