#Hist2260 On December 28, 1942, President Roosevelt authorized the formation of the Manhattan Project to combine these various research efforts with the goal of weaponizing nuclear energy.

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

#Hist2260 That same year, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt declared that the U.S. would enter World War II and align with Great Britain, France, and Russia to fight against the Germans in Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific theater.

#Hist2260 The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico's Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945.Little Boy and Fat Man bombs were used a month later in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

#Hist2260 The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (about $23 billion in 2018 dollars).

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

#Hist2260 From 1942 to 1946, the Manhattan Project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs.

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

#Hist2260 The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada.

@CNMsamantha He played a very big part of the Mexican revolution, he was wanted, dangerous.

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

@TristinJ6 Of course, land and water were important because of how dry New Mexico is and these things are important everywhere in the world too.

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

@ariana135334756 Yeah, it was really important for New Mexico to have that many of rough riders from it.

[Mustafa Al Al Ithawi @IthawiMustafa]

@ariana135334756 Rough Riders were significant in the history of New Mexico and the country as also.
