With the outbreak of war, Japan actively expanded its possessions in Asia and the Pacific, and Germany sought to dominate Europe. In 1941, when the United States entered the war, it became an important factor in the conflict, supporting the Allies and contributing to the stabilization of the world order.
In mid-1945, World War II was nearing its disastrous end, but Japan continued to resist, refusing to give up. In such a difficult situation, the United States faced moral dilemmas and sought to find a way to end the war that would minimize human losses and lead to the long-awaited peace.

The opening of the Manhattan project was a turning point in the history of not only the United States, but also the entire world community. The importance of creating the atomic bomb was not only due to the desire to win the Second World War, but also to the need to ensure security and guarantee peace in the future.
The secrecy of the project has become one of its cornerstones. Large-scale efforts were made to ensure secrecy so that enemy forces could not find out that such a destructive type of weapon was being developed. Every scientist and engineer who worked on the project made a commitment not to disclose information about their activities. This created an atmosphere of secrecy and responsibility that allowed the project to flourish and achieve its goal.
