General in charge of the Manhattan Project was all pissy cause he was in charge of scientists, names General Groves, and he realized the importance when the first bomb was detonated. Trinity was the first atomic device explosion, and it was detonated in July 1945 in new mexico. Had to wait days to check out the explosion site due to radiation. Enola Gay. haha. There was no bomber strong enough to carry the atomic bombs. So they developed the B-29 Superfortress to upgrade from the B-17 Fortress bomber. Paul Tibbets was the pilot. Little Boy was the smaller bomb which was a hydrogen bomb, and Fat Man was the larger bomb. It was a plutonium bomb, much stronger. VJ Day. August 14, 1945. Japan surrendered thus ending WWII. Yalta Conference! Churchill Roosevelt and Stalin met and Stalin joined up. Germany would be nroken into 4 occupation zones. US Great Britain France and USSR. Stalin promised free elections in Eastern Europe. He promised to join the war against Japan after war with Germany was over. Have a conference at San Francisco to set up the United Nations.
