The Manhattan ProjectThe Manhattan Project aimed to see if it was possible to make an atomic bomb. The success of this project would forever change the world by spreading the word that something so powerful can be made by man. The success of the Manhattan Project had an impact on everyone involved, as they helped create something with such destructive power that it could destroy a city in seconds. The University of Chicago in Illinois played a huge role in the making of the atomic bomb (The Manhattan Project). Manhattan Project, Sue Hook). The University was placed under a football field where no one would have ever thought it was (The Manhattan Project, Sue Hook). The university tested to see if atomic energy could actually be controlled and when the test was confirmed to be a success, it was clear that it was entirely possible (The Atomic Bomb Project, Dale Anderson). If the test had failed, the atomic bomb might never have been created. As the test was a success, it meant that the project was progressing and they were getting closer and closer to their goal. In addition to the University of Chicago, many laboratories had been established in the United States to test nuclear weapons. substances (The Atomic Bomb Project, Dale Anderson). Probably one of the most important took place in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the first atomic bomb was created (The Manhattan Project America Makes the First Atomic Bomb, Don Beyer). Los Alamos was intended as a place where scientists would not have to worry about any secrets that might be revealed about what they were doing or how they were testing and designing the bomb. This could have had a huge impact on the project and given the information to someone who was in the middle of a paper... new weapons for the arsenals of a world at war, or for the arsenals of nations preparing for war, then the time will come when humanity will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima (Sue Hook). To think that the idea of ​​the atomic bomb was born at a university in Chicago. It was once said that the atomic bomb was impossible, but in today's world the atomic bomb can be easily produced (Sue Hook). Works Cited Anderson, Dale. the atomic bomb project.
