The factory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee which was making the Uranium 235 for the atomic bomb, had made enough Uranium for a single atomic bomb.

Physician Rudolf Peierls assembled the bomb by hand, after it arrived at the Pacific Island of Tinian.…

Fermi traveled all the way to Washington to tell the government officials his concern, not a lot of them shared the same uneasiness that he did. Einstein then had to send a letter…

take part in a land invasion of Japan in order to fight surrender out of them. Waiting for Russia to break their Japanese neutrality act and attack Japan was also a very viable option presented to Truman while he was deliberating dropping the atomic bombs. Unfortunately, there were very good reasons why both of these options were pushed aside. First, the United States had already lost, so many soldiers to the war even with them joining the war later then the other countries. A land war in…
