Atomic Bombs

Its tough to tell. I mean how would we know? Since we dropped it though, it ended our war with Japan. I really think it was a very smart thing to do.

It ended the war and collapsed Japan's means to make war so most people favor the use of the atomic bomb in ww2

Manhattan Project.

He was 31. It seems wierd, but sometimes it is like that.

Major Charles W. Sweeney

There are a few of those photos shown around. If you have some photos different from the one already published, you have good money on your hands.

The bombs were not actually built at Oak Ridge. Oak Ridge produced the uranium for the first bomb in 1943-45. The bombs were assembled at Los Alamos, New Mexico. There was another facility at Hanford, Washington also producing fisslie material for the second bomb. Oak Ridge did not exist in 1941, it was empty farmland. Within two years there was a secret city of over thirty thousand inhabitants engaged in working on the project, though few understood what they were working on.

He performed theoretical calculations about things like nuclear scattering.

He was denied a security clearance, which put him in the interesting position of not being allowed access to his own work. (This sort of thing happened occasionally due to the tight security on the Manhattan project... one scientist was head of two separate divisions at the same time, and due to compartmentalization regulations theoretically had to obtain prior approval to talk to himself.)

That would be Harry S. Truman in office from January 3, 1935 till January 17, 1945

The cold war intensified when the USSR tested their bomb in 1949.

• The Scientists on the planes went on to be scientists in atomic energy.
• The Air Force men either resigned or went on to serve more years in the New Air Force when it was formed after the US Army Air Force was disbanded.
• It is rumored one committed suicide.
• The mother with the name Enola Gay was not happy about her name being on that plane - son regretted it too.
• The crews were paraded around the US for a while and were relieved when that hoopla was over because they suffered from guilt feelings or had no joy over the bombings.

Yes. It was done by the Raiders too. Doolittle put his medal the Japanese gave him a bomb he would drop on Tokyo. Many bombs around the world had medals and messages put on them.

You will need to decide if it was bad, (it killed a lot of people) or something that had to be done. Japan attacked the US without warning, and had been at war with the US for about 3 years and 9 months. The US had demanded the surrender of Japan, and Japan had refused. After two atomic weapons were dropped, Japan decided to surrender.

Technetium is not a naturally occurring element like uranium or plutonium but produced as a result of nuclear transformations, typically in a nuclear reactor. It has never been used in the making of nuclear weapons.

end WW2

North Korea had no atomic bombs at the time of the Korean War. What Truman was concerned about was the Soviet atomic bombs and the high probability that Stalin would respond to our use of atomic bombs in that conflict by declaring full scale nuclear war on the US.

Focke-Wulf manufactured several different aircraft used by Germany in WWII, but I do not believe any were bombers. They did drop time-delay bombs from high altitude fighters over Allied bombers and on Atlantic convoy ships and probably on ground troops, but I doubt if any were involved in major bombing raids.

Energy + Explosion

Approx. 70,000 ETA: Nobody knows exactly, but some 70,000 people are thought to have died as a result of initial blast, heat and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city. By the end of 1945, because of the lingering effects of radioactive fallout and other after effects, the Hiroshima death toll was probably over 100,000. The five-year death total may have reached or even exceeded 200,000, as cancer and other long-term effects took hold.

I would launch the 1946 invasion as planned. If in January 1947 Japan still hasn't fallen drop both bombs on Tokyo.

No, you can just go check out some pics of japs after the h-bomb 'fat boy' fell in japan.

The US .

Truman didnt want Stalin to get any peace, and was basically telling him to back off

The cost to completely develop the nuclear weapon from the beginning of the war until 1945 cost America $20 billion. This includes the money they needed for research, materials, plants, and people. The bombs themselves cost $5 billion each, essentially making them the most expensive bombs to ever be dropped. Citation: Hewlett, Richard and Oscar Anderson.
