= Manhattan Project  = by: Baylee

The Manhattan project was created by the United States of America in 1942 to produce the first atomic bomb.
== This bomb was made by the Corps of Engineers' Manhattan Engineer District, commanded by Major (later lieutenant) General Leslie R. Groves. Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer directed the design and building of this bomb. Some places such as Los Alamos, New Mexico; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Hanford, Washington is some of the places Industrial and research took place. == == The Idea of the project began in 1939, which was actually a little before World War II. We, America, were afraid Germany might develop this major, nuclear bomb before us, but the U.S. successfully exploded the first atomic bomb, as a test, on July 16, 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Then, of course, later dropped in Hiroshima, Japan . ==
