military to attack Poland and they invaded them.

about the potential to build a nuclear weapon. Then FDR created a secret project called the Manhattan
Project. Physicist Fermi created the nuclear reaction and the bomb was secretly constructed. After FDR
died, VP Truman had to decide how to end the war in the Pacific. They tested the bomb and it was
successful. Once the atomic bomb was ready, they issued the Potsdam Declaration to Japan: "surrender
or face destruction". When Japan refused to surrender, Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima on
