The Manhattan Project
The Manhattan Project was a very important event in U.S. history. Without it, World War 2 would have lasted much longer then it did. I believe the creation of the atomic bomb helped the United States in many ways. Without it, the world would be much different then it is today.
If the atomic bomb had not been created and was not used against Japan in World War 2, the war would have probably lasted much longer then it did. It may even have still been going on today. Now that America can create an atomic bomb, other countries do not want to go to war with us. They want to remain at peace. The creation of the atomic bomb also gave America more power. Had the atomic bomb not been created, other countries may not have had as much respect for America as they do now.
I believe The Manhattan Project was very helpful to America. It made our country stronger and made all other countries show respect. It also ended World War 2 earlier, which without it may have still been going on today.
