The United States developed the atomic bomb during World War II and used it against Japan in 1945 to force their surrender and end the war. While Germany had also tried to develop an atomic bomb, the U.S. completed theirs first and dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki after Japan refused multiple surrender demands. The bombings succeeded in defeating Japan and marked the conclusion of World War II.

Cold war notes
The document discusses three historical events:
1) The Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, when American-trained Cuban exiles attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro's communist government in Cuba but were quickly defeated.
2) The U-2 incident in 1960, when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union, causing tensions between the US and USSR to rise.
3) The Berlin Wall, which divided East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. East Germany built the wall to stop citizens from fleeing to West Berlin, but eventually opened the wall in 1989 due to widespread public opposition.
Nuclear arms race by diana
The document summarizes the nuclear arms race between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War. It describes how the arms race began after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan in WWII, prompting the Soviets to develop their own nuclear weapons. This kicked off a competition that lasted decades as the two superpowers strived to outdo each other in nuclear stockpiles and delivery systems. Both nations invested heavily in producing more advanced bombs like hydrogen bombs and long-range missiles like the US Atlas and Minuteman missiles, in a bid to assert military dominance and ensure the capability to retaliate against any nuclear attack.
When We Tested Nuclear Bombs
The document discusses nuclear testing from the first test in 1945 to more recent tests. It provides images and details of numerous atmospheric and underground nuclear tests conducted by various countries from 1945 to 1998, including the Trinity test, Operation Crossroads, Castle Bravo, Sedan Crater, Fishbowl Bluegill, and Pokhran-II. The tests ranged from kilotons to megatons and served to develop newer nuclear weapons and understand their effects.
Manhattan Project
The Manhattan Project was a top secret U.S. project during World War II from 1942-1946 that focused on developing the first atomic bombs. The project was led by General Leslie Groves and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and involved many scientists like Albert Einstein. It had several key facilities, including Los Alamos, New Mexico where nuclear weapons were assembled, and produced the first atomic bombs - "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" - that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, helping to end World War II. However, the bombs also led to massive death and destruction.
Nuclear arms race by tasya
The United States began developing nuclear weapons out of fear that the Soviet Union and other countries like France and China were doing so. The U.S. became the first to use nuclear weapons when they bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Seeing the Soviet Union as its main enemy, the U.S. focused on intercontinental ballistic missiles that could travel long distances. By 1957, the U.S. had developed missiles that could fly over 6,000 miles and land within a mile of their target. The nuclear arms race between the U.S. and Soviet Union during the Cold War involved both sides developing capabilities to launch devastating attacks even after suffering assaults from the other side.

The atomic bomb (slideshare version)
The atomic bomb was created by the United States during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The first atomic bomb test took place in New Mexico in July 1945. On August 6th, the US dropped an atomic bomb called "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, killing over 70,000 people instantly. Another bomb called "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later on August 9th. The atomic bombs caused immense destruction and loss of life in the targeted cities from their nuclear explosions and the aftereffects of radiation exposure.

Cuban missile crisis
The Cuban Missile Crisis arose from increasing tensions in the Cold War between the US and USSR, as they engaged in an arms race. Cuba's leader, Fidel Castro, established closer ties with the USSR, alarming the US. In response, the US failed to overthrow Castro at the Bay of Pigs invasion, after which Castro requested Soviet weapons. Ultimately, the USSR installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, bringing the US and USSR to the brink of nuclear war.

Space race[1]
The document outlines the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. It describes how the Soviets launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, in 1957, shocking the US and spurring increased investment in science and technology. While the US attempted to launch Vanguard soon after, it failed, embarrassing the nation. This kicked off intense competition as both superpowers sought to demonstrate dominance through achievements in space exploration.
Nuclear bombs
The document discusses the history of nuclear bombs. It notes that Ernest Rutherford, Sir John Cockcroft, and Ernest Walton were scientists involved in early nuclear research. The first nuclear bomb was created in 1919 but did not successfully undergo nuclear fission until 1932. The United States developed nuclear bombs during World War II and dropped them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in 1945, helping to end the war.
Invention
J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American physicist who helped develop the atomic bomb during World War II. He directed the Los Alamos Laboratory and oversaw the Manhattan Project, which successfully developed the first atomic bombs in 1945. After the war, Oppenheimer opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb and was later investigated for his left-wing views and associations, which led to his security clearance being revoked.
The men of the manhattan project
The document profiles 7 scientists who were key figures in the Manhattan Project: Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard conceived the idea of the nuclear chain reaction and helped initiate the project; Italian physicist Enrico Fermi demonstrated the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction; American general Leslie Groves oversaw the entire project; American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos laboratory; Hungarian-born American physicist Edward Teller developed the hydrogen bomb; German physicist Hans Bethe calculated critical mass for the weapons; and American physicist Richard Garwin worked on bomb design and later campaigned against nuclear weapons.

Julius Oppenheimer
Julius Robert Oppenheimer was an American physicist and professor who is known as the "father of the atomic bomb." He studied various fields of science and helped establish theoretical physics in the U.S. During World War II, he led the Manhattan Project and oversaw the successful development and testing of the first atomic bombs. After the war, he expressed regret over his role and opposed further weapons development, which led to accusations of disloyalty and the loss of his security clearance.
Robert J Oppenheimer
Robert J. Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is known for his role as scientific director of the Manhattan Project and for his role in the development of the atomic bomb. He was born in New York City in 1904 and studied at Harvard University and the University of Cambridge. As the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, he oversaw the secret research that developed the first nuclear weapons and helped end World War 2.
The long shadows of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 70th anniversary of atomic bombing
On August 6th, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb called "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, killing tens of thousands instantly. Three days later, on August 9th, the US dropped a second atomic bomb called "Fat Man" on Nagasaki, killing thousands more. The bombings marked the first use of nuclear weapons in war and resulted in hundreds of thousands of immediate and long-term casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered six days later, ending World War II.
Ii 4 end of fopo
The document summarizes several key events in the Cold War between 1956 and 1960:
1) The 1956 Suez Crisis led to Israel, UK, and France invading Egypt after Egyptian President Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, but the US denied oil to its allies and the USSR threatened intervention, ending the invasion.
2) When Hungarians revolted against Soviet control in 1956 and withdrew from the Warsaw Pact, they appealed to the US for help, but the US was unable to intervene directly against the USSR.
3) The Soviet Union gained prestige by launching Sputnik as the first artificial satellite in 1957, demonstrating its superiority in rocket technology and space capabilities.
Nuclear weapons
The document discusses the history of nuclear weapons, including the first U.S. nuclear test in 1945 and subsequent bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also covers the Cold War arms race between the U.S. and Soviet Union, crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis, efforts at nuclear deterrence, and later arms reduction treaties. Current concerns about nuclear weapons include aging Cold War arsenals, proliferation, accidents, unauthorized use, and terrorism.
Atom bomb
The atomic bomb is a powerful explosive nuclear weapon fueled by nuclear fission. The Manhattan Project led by US Army General Leslie Groves and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. The first was tested in July 1945 and two were dropped on Japan in August 1945, devastating Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killing over 100,000 people. The bombs were dropped to end the war and avoid the massive casualties expected from invading Japan. Some argue the bombs were also meant to intimidate the Soviet Union in the early stages of the Cold War.
Nuclear arms race ashiq
The United States was the first to use nuclear weapons when it bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. During the Cold War, both the US and Soviet Union engaged in an arms race to develop more advanced nuclear weapons and delivery systems. The US focused on developing intercontinental ballistic missiles like the Atlas and Minuteman that could strike the Soviet Union from great distances with accuracy. The US also deployed nuclear missiles on submarines like the Polaris, making retaliation more assured. The Soviet Union worked to catch up but struggled with inaccurate missiles until later improving their capabilities, increasing tensions during this nuclear standoff between the two superpowers.

This article examines the association between gender-segregated peer preferences and sexism in adolescents. It studies 145 adolescents between 15-17 years old, assessing their preferences for same-gender peers in social and school contexts as well as their levels of two types of modern sexism: denial of continuing discrimination and antagonism towards women's demands. The results found gender differences - for boys, antagonism towards women's demands was associated with gender-segregated peer preferences in school and home, while for girls, denial of continuing discrimination was associated with gender-segregated peer preferences at home. The study provides insight into how gender segregation relates to sexist attitudes in adolescents.

The Environment Ministry has revised the Solid Waste Management Rules for the first time in 16 years. The new rules extend the scope of waste management beyond municipal areas to urban and industrial areas. They mandate source segregation of waste into wet, dry and hazardous categories. Local bodies are responsible for setting up waste processing facilities and sanitary landfills within set timeframes. A Central Monitoring Committee has been formed to oversee implementation of the new rules nationwide.

This document summarizes a research study that investigated how college students' expressions of femininity and masculinity varied depending on the gender of their peers. The study used ecological momentary assessment to collect reports from 27 college students over 2 weeks about their social contexts and their levels of femininity and masculinity. The study found that male students reported higher femininity when with female peers compared to male peers. Both male and female students reported higher masculinity when with male peers compared to female peers. These findings provide empirical support for theories that gender expressions are context-dependent rather than fixed traits.

The development of agricultural extension in Lao PDR
This document discusses the changing context of agriculture extension in Laos. It notes shifts such as declining dependence on the agricultural sector, the growth of foreign plantations and contract farming, and new farmer organizations and rural economies. The government has introduced new policies to transition extension services from a provider to facilitator role. The future of extension will require services that build resilience through diversity, knowledge, and farmer organization, rather than top-down models, to help farmers adapt to an uncertain future with trends like climate change, markets and regional stability. Extension must provide pluralistic, flexible services that facilitate farmer self-help.
