THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC BOMBThe New York Press reports: "New hope for releasing the enormous stores of energy within the atom has arisen from German scientists". World famous Niels Bohr of Copenhagen and Enrico Fermi of Rome, both Nobel prize winners, acclaim this experiment as one of the most important in recent years. Fermi now realized that his new element 93 had been a product of splitting the uranium atom. At this time the release of nuclear energy was at once recognized for its potential use in an explosive weapon. Fiction was soon becoming fact (Yass 20).Otto Hahn writes a paper to Fermi stating that: "if technology to split uranium was discovered it would lead to the construction of bombs which would be extremely dangerous in general, and particular in the hands of certain governments". Everyone knew which government he meant. This was a chance the Nazis were not likely to overlook. At this time Hitler stopped exports of uranium ore from nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and ordered every scientist in the field of physics, chemistry and engineering to drop all research and devote themselves
Los Alamos: the third "secret city"This was the third secret city built for the Manhattan District. Japanese Prime Minister Suzuki rejects the ultimatum. The British were determined to sabotage German effort. It's just what we want isn't it?" (Yass 87). Quebec AgreementOn January 14, 1943 Churchill complains to Roosevelt at Casablanca that America is excluding Britain from atomic research projects. It didn't dissolve them as it dissolved people in Hiroshima. Two square miles of the city were completely leveled by the bomb, and intense heat generated by the explosion started fires as far as two miles from ground zero (Marx 13). The alternative for Japan is complete and utter destruction". But it did dissolve something vitally important.
