The atomic bomb was developed first by the Manhattan Project in the early 1940s in the United States as a way to end World War II, which it did when dropped on the Japanese cities of [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]].

The atomic bomb detonates with a massive explosion due to the release of energy in atoms. Specifically, neutrons in a rapid chain reaction split the nuclei of a heavy chemical element, such as plutonium or uranium, to cause the massive release of energy.
