Hence, the U.S government began to conduct and fund their own researches on atomic weapon developments. This was called ‘The Manhattan Project’ which was a top secret facility in which the research and development of atomic weaponry created the first nuclear weapon. The morning of August 6th, 1945, represented a significant change in history in which a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Enola Gay, dropped the first atomic bomb ‘Little Boy’ on Hiroshima which immediately destroyed the city along with approximately 146,000 people.
