The manhattan project
The Manhattan Project was a secret US military project during World War II to develop the first atomic bombs. It was led by US physicist Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves, and involved research facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Hanford, Washington, and Los Alamos, New Mexico to produce weapons-grade materials. The first nuclear device was successfully tested at Alamogordo, New Mexico in July 1945, and two atomic bombs were subsequently dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender. The Manhattan Project officially ended in 1946 when it was incorporated into the new Atomic Energy Commission.

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.
Manhattan Project Powerpoint
The Manhattan Project was a top secret US research program during World War II to develop the first atomic bombs. Spurred by fears that Nazi Germany was developing its own atomic weapons, the project involved over 125,000 people across the US and cost over $2 billion. Key figures included Albert Einstein, who warned President Roosevelt about the potential German bomb, and J. Robert Oppenheimer, who directed the scientific research and development at sites across the US. Their work culminated in the Trinity test near Alamogordo, New Mexico in July 1945, which demonstrated that an atomic bomb was possible. The US then used two atomic bombs against Japan in August 1945, helping to end World War II.

Truman-Manhattan Project
The document summarizes key events of the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It describes the first nuclear test in New Mexico in July 1945, the Potsdam Declaration demanding Japan's surrender, and the bombings of Hiroshima on August 6th and Nagasaki on August 9th, which together caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and widespread destruction. It concludes by posing the question of whether using the atomic bombs was justified or if other options could have ended the war.
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.
Albert Einstein School Project
Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879 and went on to become one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. In his "miracle year" of 1905, he published four groundbreaking papers, including his special theory of relativity containing his famous equation E=mc2. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his services to theoretical physics. Later in life, Einstein immigrated to the United States and took a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He died in 1955 at the age of 76.

Battle of okinawa
The Battle of Okinawa was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War between the Allies and Japan from April 1st to June 22nd 1945. Over 300,000 troops fought in the 82-day long battle on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa, resulting in over 150,000 casualties between Allied and Japanese forces as well as around 100,000 civilian deaths. The Japanese forces utilized overwhelming kamikaze attacks involving over 1,500 airplanes. Although the Allies were gaining victory, the Japanese refusal to surrender ultimately led to the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war.
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.
