The Manhattan Project was a project so powerful, it had the potential to develop bombs which can destroy the world! The bombs that were used for Hiroshima and Nagasaki unleashed power which man themselves cannot handle. It caused many despairs and led to victory for the US, although not a proper victory, it was needed to protect the citizens of the US. Due to the colossal havoc the atomic bomb caused amongst innocent citizens as well as the after effects it causes, an agreement was signed from nearly every country to never use an atomic bomb on each other again. Till this day no intentional attack has been placed anyone so far and hopefully it will stay that way. Lives were lost during the project, and a war was won. The project regarding the splitting of atoms was luckily worked on more than 50 years ago and not today. Society has found numerous discoveries during our era regarding positive and beneficial inventions for uranium or plutonium that actually helps society and doesn't cause destruction. All of these events were caused by just a simple letter addressed to the President.
