According to my Oxford Companion to WWII in strictly monetary terms here was the breakdown for the major players in their currencies:
UK-Pounds Sterling 20,500,000,000 US-$306,000,000,000 Germany-Reichmarks 414,000,000,000 Japan-Yen 174,000,000,000 Italy- Lire 278,500,000,000 USSR- Ruble 582,000,000,000
I'm not sure if the US figure even takes into acount the 50 billion in Lend lease aid that was given out.
They cost about .10 cents a pound
$350 billion USD in 1945.
alot....
8 billion
400,000 killed
i never knew there was coal in the civil war
Construction of the infrastructure to build them cost $2,000,000,000 but the incremental cost per bomb was much less, I doubt they cost a million a piece and the cost would have dropped with increased production.
The world was going through world war two. The atomic bomb ended the war.
It took the US 20 BILLION Dollars to develop the bomb.
hardly anything there are loads of them
The Second World War.
The atomic bomb was sopower full that japan surrendered a couple days after the second bomb. This nuclear weapon is what led World war II to an end. Not World war I
Atom bomb should not have been dropped. it was still a prototype and had seemed like a good way to end world war 2 . It worked but at a great cost and much suffering
the atomic bomb
It was the Atomic bomb.
It was used in the world war two, its an atomic bomb!
a bomb shelter
Nuclear bomb.
