Cold War Tension

After world war 2 tension between the superpowers were at a all time high. A cause of some of the tension had to do with the fact that America had came up with the atomic bomb. At the begging of world war 2 Albert Einstein wrote president and other scientists telling them that uranium - 235 could be used to make a atomic bomb. Soon after United states government started the research and creation of the bomb calling it the " Manhattan Project". Only few were aloud to know about it. When the bomb was done it was done it was tested in Nevada. NO one else had came up with such a deadly weapon at the time so America had a advantage over other countries. When FDR died Truman was in charge of what to do with the bomb. Even though it would kill Innocent people if we bombed Japan it would end the war and save many American lives.When the first a bomb was dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki it did just that.
