Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'manhattan project'

The top-secret research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. Led by the United States with support from the United Kingdom and Canada, this massive scientific effort employed over 130,000 people across multiple sites and culminated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The Manhattan Project fundamentally altered global geopolitics, ushering in the nuclear age and establishing the framework for Cold War tensions.
