The Manhattan Project, spanning from 1942 to 1946, was a landmark military project that produced the first nuclear bombs, costing around $2 billion. This initiative involved over 129,000 personnel and led to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Its successful execution, driven by compartmentalization and confidentiality, underscored the United States' scientific and military capabilities during World War II. The project not only changed warfare but also paved the way for the Atomic Age.
The Manhattan Project, arguably the most successful secret military project in world history, brought together leading scientific minds to harness atomic power for national security.
Through vows of secrecy and compartmentalization techniques, it managed to employ hundreds of thousands of people, spending a staggering $2 billion to achieve its outcome.
