Who was the first to invent the Atomic Bomb and use it? From what I understand, Japan wanted to carry out attacks in southeast Asia that likely would have meant a US response, so they wanted to destroy the US' Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor to make it easier for themselves. I don't know too much about the history of atomic weapons, but its development was in the US, and many of the minds behind it were scientists who had fled Nazi Germany (Albert Einstein helped warn the US of what Germany was capable of). The project to build a viable atomic weapon was called the Manhattan Project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
