The Manhattan project

The Manhattan Project (also known as the Nuclear Bomb Creation Project) went from the 13th of August 1942 to the 15th of August 1946. The United States of America lead the project with the United Kingdom and Canada supporting them. The project employed more than 130,000 people and cost more than 2 billion US dollars. The head of the project was Leslie R. Groves. They created two nuclear bombs which were both used on Japan in 1945. The Manhattan Project was under a very tight ‘’blanket of security’’.
