Originating in the fires of World War II, the Manhattan Project is one of the most morally confusing science projects in human history. The Manhattan Project refers to the United States' research and development of a functional atomic bomb. While it was named the Manhattan Project, most of the work took place in New Mexico, not New York. As most know, the atomic bomb was eventually used twice in Japan, destroying cities and causing massive casualties to the Japanese population. The US had been forced into the war following Pearl Harbor and needed a way to bring a swift end to the war in Japan. The project began originally due to fears that German scientists had been experimenting with nuclear weaponry since the early 1930s. The U.S. began research as a countermeasure to provide some defense against this technology. However, the United States finished the project first and in doing so changed the tide of the war and human history as a whole. This article will discuss the project itself, its impact on human history as a whole, and the morality of the destructive weapon.
