The Manhattan Project was created in 1942 to produce the first US nuclear weapon, involving hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, and military personnel. The US fear of Nazi Germany building and using a nuclear weapon during World War II triggered the start of this secret military project.
The production of these nuclear weapons provided a powerful push in the development of science, technology, engineering, military, and the whole of society into a new age.
