ce Japan to surrender. "Let there be no mistake about it," said Truman, later agreeing with Oppenheimer, "I regarded the bomb as a military weapon and never had any doubt that it should be used."The scientific development surrounding the A-Bomb has been a pivotal point in the world's history, launching us into the Atomic Age. We have turned nuclear power into a reliable source of energy, and it has provided us with many technological advances. For example, in the future we can look forward to using this technology discovered during the Manhattan Project to create even better sources of energy. In my opinion, I feel that even though the atomic bombing of World War II was a disaster for Japan and its citizens, we wouldnt be where we are today if it wasnt for the attack. Over the years of research, we have learned a great deal about technology, science, and especially human character and morals. There have been many benefits that came from this war, but also many losses. The struggle for atomic power has left the world scarred, and in the 50 years since history's first atomic explosion, the promises and perils of nuclear science have touched nearly every aspect of our culture and politics.
