Einstein and WWII

While doing the chart and filling out the section for Albert Einstein and how he changed the world, I was so surprised to learn that he helped the Allies during World War II. It was shocking to see the impact that he had in the creation of the atomic bomb and I wondered about the effects that the bomb had during that time and how it has affected us today. Although the intentions behind the atomic bomb were to help the Allies and cause the war to end early-- preventing further blood shed-- the affects that it had on Japan was astounding and incredible. Later on, scientist tested another bomb that proved to be even more destructive than the atomic bomb.
