How was the Manhattan Project Beneficial to the US?
The Manhattan project was a code name for a project that was assigned the task of designing, building and testing the World’s first nuclear bomb that was subsequently used twice on Japan in 1945 to force the Japanese to unconditionally surrender. While horrific, many US military strategists as well as historians postulate that the war between Japan and the US would have continued for at least another year resulting in even greater losses of lives on both sides.
