The Manhattan Project: The Secret Mission to Build the Atomic Bomb

During World War II, the United States launched a top-secret research and development program known as the Manhattan Project. Led by General Leslie Groves and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the goal of the project was to develop the first atomic bomb. The project involved over 130,000 people, including many of the world's leading physicists and mathematicians, and was so secret that even the U.S. Vice President was not informed about it. This 60-second video explores the history of the Manhattan Project, including the development of the atomic bomb and its controversial use in Japan, and the ongoing impact of nuclear technology and weapons on international relations.
