Roosevelt had named the project the “Manhattan Project” and had begun finally testing the nuclear weapon. On July 16th, 1945 the Trinity test was taken and the results were that the first ever successful nuclear weapon had just been created and detonated. The atomic bomb had the power of 21,000 tons of TNT and the mushroom cloud had stretched 40,000 feet across. The U.S. had planned on ending World War Ⅱ with this new deadly weapon. Since Japan wouldn’t be convinced to surrender the war, the U.S. had planned on using force to make them surrender.
