Manhattan Project
In 1942 Einstein contacted Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a letter telling him about the atomic bomb making that was going on in Germany. The concept of building atomic bombs was sparked by that letter. The Manhattan Project started soon after Roosevelt received the letter.
No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.
Albert Einstein did not make an atomic bomb. He was a theoretical physicist who wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning about the potential of nuclear weapons and the need to develop them, which ultimately led to the Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb.
Franklin Roosevelt- but he died before the atomic bomb was used. Harry Truman was the next president, and ordered the use of the atomic bomb.
Yes, both.
Atomic Bomb
no
yes we did
The atomic bomb was developed many years before 1949. It was dropped on Japan in 1945. In 1939, Albert Einstein told Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt that Nazi Germany wanted to develop an atomic bomb. Then the US government began producing research known only then as The Manhattan Project. A massive laboratory was started at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Einstein convinced Roosevelt that it was necessary to develop the atomic bomb as Germany was already working on it.

The atomic bomb is too expensive to develop for a city to have them. They are weapons held only by industrialized countries.
