On this day in 1941, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt approves an atomic program that would become the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was the codename for the American effort to develop and test nuclear weapons during World War II. Two bomb types were developed: Little Boy, a uranium bomb, and Fat Man, a plutonium bomb. The work was carried out with extreme secrecy; many of those working on the project had no idea what they were working towards. On August 6 and 9, 1945, President Truman authorized the use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to date the only use of nuclear weapons in history. The bombs brought about the quick end of World War II without the need for a catastrophic invasion of Japan, but with an exceptionally high loss of civilian life in the two destroyed cities.
