Nagasaki When Japan attacked the United States on December 1941, which was called the attack on Pearl harbor, the Allies, the United States, Poland, and France, decided to fight back. In the summer of 1945, Japan kept on fighting and the United states decided to create the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan project was a top secret project to build an atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project was led by a scientist named J. Robert Oppenheimer. After they tested the bomb they told Japan that if they did nit surrender they were going to destroy them. Of course, Japan did not surrender and the United states dropped its first bomb in Hiroshima. The first explosion killed more than 70,000 people and eventually left 5 squared miles into a humongous waste land. Again Japan did not surrender and on August 9th, the United states dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki and sadly it killed 40,000 people. Finally on August 14th japan surrenders. On September 2,1945 the allied forces decided to sign a peace treaty with Japan.
