General Leslie Groves was the chief project engineer - he later went on to manage The Manhattan Project, which built the atomic bomb.\n\nGround was broken for the Pentagon on September 11, 1941, with construction completed in approximately sixteen months at a cost of $83 million.\n\nDuring the early years of World War II, with construction supervised by the future Manhattan Project supervisor Leslie Groves, 680,000 tons (620,000 tonnes) of sand and gravel were dredged from the nearby Potomac River for the new building, which were then processed into 435,000 cubic yards (330,000 m³) of concrete and molded into the pentagon shape. Very little steel was used in its design due to the needs of the war effort.\n\nThe primary reason for building it was the World War II required a massive increase of personnel at the War Department, and they needed a building large enough to hold everybody.

during world war 2, we did actually invent this. it would plow it's nose into the ground that was about 2 inches thick if i remember correctly. Just the crater it left was phenomenal. then, when it exploded underground, it made another crater about the size of the impact crater. the biggest version of this was as tall as a two story house! sadly, the atomic bomb overshadowed this marvelous invention.

Mendeleyev.  This was the order he used to prepare his first periodic table.  Later he switched to atomic number.

I think only the US on Japan. Really they nuked Japan as a trial purpose. They could have used MUCH weaker weapons and still had a good effect. But, they decided to use the best they had. ALSO, Japan had already surrendered before the Bomb.\n\nThe US is in complete control. No one else can really even INVENT nuclear warefare without the agreement of the US. Look.. if they even SUSPECT you have weapons of mass distruction... you get invaded... \n\nReally... if you try to invent nuclear warefare without the US's permission... then they will nuke you before you even have anything solid invented.

well first off the germans bombed pearl harbor, and no they did not use nukes. you should watch ANIMAL HOUSE it is a great documentary. you will learn a lot.

Why all this soul wrenching over the atom bomb Sure america used it,and it saved millions of lives.Perhaps today it would be wrong But then in 1945 it was right Europeans were dancing in the street Why does the usa distort history so much The ussr declared war on japan on aug.6th two days before any atom bomb was used Further japan had'nt attacked the ussr(unlike the usa who only entered the war when attacked) Churchill at the yalta conference,wanted allied forces involved on the eastern front to prevent russian dominance.He lost the vote roosevelt voted with stalin

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with ATOMIC weapons, the first (and so far only) time such atomic/nuclear weapons have ever been used in warfare.\n\nOh...  Japanese aggressions.\n\nWell-- instead, let's focus on the AMERICAN ones, huh?

During WW2, there was a top secret project using the best minds of the world except for Einstein and a few others as they opposed the project called Manhattan Project.  Its goal was to harness the power of the atom and turn it into a weapon.  They did and the first bomb was fired in the Nevada dessert and was called the Trinity test.\n\nThe bomb was then tasked to be weaponsized and a B29 was specially fitted and modified to carey the giant beast of a bomb.  While the bomb was being constructed and designed and such, the military command along with the president were debating the outcomes of a land invasion of Japan.  After much delberation of whther the bomb should be used or hundereds of thousnads of troops be used in a invasion, it was decided to drop the Uranium based bomb on a designated city that had not suffered the same bombing campaign as the other cities had.  The first choice (the name of the city escapes me) was covered with clouds so the secondary target of Hiroshima was chosen and bombed.  The Japanese were stunned at the new weapon.  Emperor Hirohito wanted to surrender to the Americans but the Military did not want to lose face by surrendering.  in the turmoil of the that followed with the debates of surrender or not, Nagasaki was wiped away by a Plutonium based weapon.\n\nAt that time the Emperor won the fight and surrendered to the Americans.  They also did this to avoid retribution by the Russians whom they have faught for many years with prior.\n\nAfter the war was over, a tour was done by the American command and found out that they would have had overwhelming casualties had they attempted to land on Japan as they had 3 lines fo trenches, bunkers, and other assorted fortifications armed with soldiers and civillians.\n\nI hope this answered your question!

He invented nothing.  He revolutionized the world with a paper in 1905 and he developed the equation E = mc(squared) which ulimately led to being proved by nuclear fission and the detonation of the atomic bomb.

Actually, one example of a soldier designing a weapon (if you are referring to weapons here) is Eugene Morrison Stoner.  He was an enlisted member of the Army Ordinance Corps (That's army talk for weapons corp)during WWII.  He is credited with designing the modern M16 that we use in the Army today.  \n\nAnother example is then BG Leslie Groves.  He is credited with the success of the first atomic blast known as the Manhattan Project.  Even though he didn't perform the development or "invention" of atomic fission, he made it happen with his leadership and pushing the scientists to achieve the impossible.   \n \n\nPlease see my sources for more information.

H-bomb is the result of fusion, fusing hydrogen into helium and/or heavier elements.. A-bomb is the result of fission, splitting atoms of uranium or plutonium into lighter elements.

In 1939, under the encouragement of Szilárd, Einstein sent a letter to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt urging the study of nuclear fission for military purposes, under fears that the Nazi government would be first to develop atomic weapons. Roosevelt started a small investigation into the matter which eventually became the massive Manhattan Project. Einstein himself did not work on the bomb project, however.\n\nThe International Rescue Committee was founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein to assist opponents of Adolf Hitler

Hmm, think hard_then speak has an interesting one, although the answer is reasonably well known.\n\nFollowing the WWII I'd interview Werner Heisenberg in 1944 to see if he was really NOT trying to build an A-bomb for Nazi Germany, or if that is just what he said after the war. (And after he learned he was going about it in the wrong way.)

Edward Teller,the father of the hydrogen bomb,developed the neutron bomb back in the 70's.The Soviets viewed it as a first strike weapon so it was never deployed because we feared the Soviets would strike first to prevent us from striking first with our 'clean' bomb.Kind of stupid isn't it.

The atomic bomb named "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945 \n\nNote the spelling....

The atomic bomb, such as those developed in the Manhattan Project during WWII, was just a first type of nuclear weapon. The nuclear weapons developed in the years during the Cold War, after WWII, were designed to be even more destructive.\n\nWhile atomic bombs are considered nuclear weapons, in general, the average destructiveness (usually measured in kilotons) of one of those early atomic bombs is much less than the average destructiveness of the more advanced nuclear bombs that followed.\n\nIn the past few years, there has been research into making nuclear weapons that have very low levels of destruction - for use in battlefields rather than for destroying whole cities.
