The creation of the atomic bombs is one of the most important historical events in the
field of weaponry. Don't you think you should know some of the history behind this tremendous
making of history? In my research paper, you will not only learn about the creation of the
atomic bomb, you will learn about who the United States used it on first and why, who lead the
project and go into great depth about him, and you will also see loads of pictures of the two first
atomic bombs (and a virtual reality video of the two atomic bombs).
Before I began my project, I will give you a little background information on how the
atomic bomb works. When a special type of uranium is pushed together quickly with neutrons,
it's nucleus splits into two pieces, releasing energy. When this happens, it also frees other
neutrons, which then collide with the nearby uranium atoms, making the atoms split. If there is
