Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the history and controversies surrounding the Manhattan Project and examines whether or not we should have dropped the bomb. The paper first looks at how the project came about following the rumours that Nazi Germany was working on a bomb and then looks at the challenges faced by the project managers to complete it before the Germans did. Finally, the writer explores whether or not America was justified in using the bomb.

From the Paper:

"In 1939, the United States got word through various channels of intelligence that the Nazis in Germany were planning to develop an atomic bomb. This was startling and upsetting news for the United States, as the prospect of the Nazis with the most powerful weapon in the world was not a comforting one. As a result, the United States began its own project to develop and build an atomic bomb before the Nazis or the Japanese did. The United States began this project in 1942 under the Army Corps of Engineers. It was the atomic bomb that was developed during this effort, an effort known as the Manhattan Project, that was eventually dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
