In 1938, scientists in Nazi Germany figured out how to make an atomic bomb.
Terrified, Albert Einstein and two other physicists urged the U. S. government to start its own nuclear program... and President Franklin D. Roosevelt listened to them.
The rest is well-known. Roosevelt started the so-called Manhattan Project, and in July 1945, the United States tested the first nuclear weapon.
