Today we did more powerpoint. We hit the A-Bomb and Manhatten Project. General Leslie Groves was in charge of the Manhatten Project. J. Robert Oppenheimer was the scientist in charge of the Project. Delevoped in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Tested in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Codenamed Trinity. It was A BIG BOOM. Paul Tibbits was the bombee on the Enola Gay which was a big plane they had to make to carry the bomb. Little Boy was the bomb they used on Hiroshima. Their target was a t-shaped bridge. The Atomic Shadow was after the bomb was dropped and it was when something had a shadow created by the blast. My mouth tastes like BBQ Lays... And There was radiation sickness. Nagasaki bombing was called the Fat Man and it was Plutonium. Bockscar was the second plane. Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945 and ended WW2, called VJ Day. Victory in Japan Day. Yalta Conference, Germany would be broken into 4, Stalin promised free elections (lied), joined in with us against Japs, and have a conference in San Fransisco to set up United Nations. Nuremberg Trials were for the war crimes of Nazis. Hermann Goering took over for Hitler after Hitler killed himself. GI Bill of Rights was to help veterns get jobs, homes, go to college, and mainly help get back into normal life. Jap Internment Camps were where we put Japs during the war. It was like an army barracks. We just wanted to isolate them. Bill Clinton apologized to Japs on October 1, 1993.
