Life in the UK Test 33
What was the name of the project through which the atomic bomb was developed?
Correct Answer: The Manhattan Project
The atomic bomb was developed through the Manhattan Project — a top-secret Allied research programme led by the United States, with contributions from Britain and Canada. The project ran from 1942 to 1946 and produced the first nuclear weapons.
British scientists, including some who had worked on the earlier Tube Alloys programme in the UK, played a significant role. The bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, bringing the Second World War in the Pacific to an end.
