The Process
Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann dicover the process of Fission in Uranium samples. -
The clouds gather
Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch approve the Hahn Strassmann and take it to Niels Bohr. -
The discovery comes to light
Bohr reports on the Hahn-Strassmann and becomes involed in a meeting on theoretical physics in Washington United States. -
The Genius
Albert Eienstein writes to Roosevelt that reasearch on chain reactions could lead to more powerful bombs. -
The Second World War
Nazi Germany invades Poland. -
The Uranium Commitee
Roosevelt informs Eienstien that he has set up th Uranium Commitee -
Steps forward
The Uranium Commitee says that the Government to buy Uranium and other minerals. -
Going Ahead

Another Discovery
Glenn T. Seaborg's research group discovers Plutonium -
Further Research
Seaborg's group demonstrate that Plutonium is fissionable. -
Betrayed

Island Hopping
The American Island hopping campaign begins when they land at Guadalcanal. -
New Name
The Manhattan Engineer District is set up in New York. -
New Member
Robert J. Oppenheimer Convinces the Authorities that more fissionable material is needed to build the Bomb -
Turning point
The Allies invade North Africa. -
New Director
Robert Oppenhiemer is appionted the new director of the Manhattan Project. -
The tide turns
The Axis Powers are forced to surrender in Tripolis North Africa. -
New Age
New researchers arrive at the Manhattan project in Los Alamos -
The Last step
The Atomic bomb design is drawn up. -
More
Oppenheimer orders three times more Fissionable materials. -
One down, Two to go.
Italy surrenders to the Allies. ( no wonder Hitler looks angry). -
Day of Days
The Allies launches the Normandy invasion. The biggest seaborne assult of all time. -
The end in sight.
Tokyo is firebomed and 100 00 people die. -

Two down. One to go
The Germans surrender in Berlin and Hitler commits suicide in his Bunker in central Berlin. -
Hammering
Tokyo is firebomed agin. This time causing 83 000 casualties. -
SHHHHH
The Manhattan project is kept secret and Truman thinks about using the atomic bomb without warning. -
Testing
The First Atomic bomb tests are conducted in the Mexican desert. -
Dropping the Bomb
The Uranium filled atomic bomb is dropped on the city of Hiroshima. The bomb is called ''littleboy''. -
Second Dropping
The second plutonium filled bomb is dropped on Nagasaki. This bomb is called ''Fatman". -
The Final conclusion
After the Japanese surrender the Second World War was over. It finished six years and one day after it began. Some of the Japanese soldiers refused to surrender. The last one surrendered in 1975 -
The Shutdown.
After the was the Manhattan Project was brocken up and demolished. Since they werew free to go most of the people never spoke of their years as a researcher or technitian.
