The Manhattan Project: A Great Moment In US History

The Manhattan Project was a great moment in U.S. history. It demonstrates how history is always changing and adapting. In addition to this, it also shows how multi sided and important history can be. In my opinion, the Manhattan Project exemplifies all of these traits, even though the project occurred years ago. Today I will be supporting all three of the points I have listed above with concrete evidence. Let's start off with how history is always changing and adapting. The Manhattan Project was dedicated to studying nuclear science. We, the U.S., were able to build the first nuclear bombs. There were two bombs, which used uranium 235 and plutonium 239. Never before had this been done in the history of the world, which I think is a pretty big change. This

This shows how while one side of the story may rejoice and celebrate, the other side may not be as fortunate. My final point is how history can be truly important. The Manhattan Project built us the first atom bomb, which in turn, helped the U.S. win WW II. In addition to this, other countries started building their own nuclear weapons. This is important because if countries that have nuclear weapons are not our allies, we have to be aware of the destructive power they could unleash on our home. In conclusion, the Manhattan Project was a very beneficial event for us. It proves that history is always changing and adapting. Without the project, the U.S. might not have built the atom bomb. It proves that history is multi-sided. If we hadn't dropped the two atom bombs in Japan, we could have saved thousands of lives. But would we have won WW II? And last but not least, it shows how history is very important. If the U.S. had not been the first to build an atom bomb, would the results of WW II be different? Overall, history teaches us many lessons that we should learn and embrace full
