What is the 'Manhattan Project'?
Answer: A
The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking that produced the first nuclear weapons.
Run by the United States with the United Kingdom and Canada during the Second World War, under General Leslie Groves with J. Robert Oppenheimer as director of the Los Alamos laboratory, it produced the first atomic bomb, tested at Trinity in July 1945, and the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It was named after the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, not because it was a real estate venture, an art auction or a theme park in New York.
