Arguing For and Against War
By early March 2003 it became clear that the administration of U.S. president George W. Bush was intent on military action against Iraq. Americans were deeply divided over the prospect of war, and antiwar protesters held demonstrations in many U.S. cities. The protests were often countered by rallies in support of the Bush administration.Encarta EncyclopediaAP/Wide World Photos/Evan Vucci
First Atomic Bomb Test
The mushroom-shaped cloud of the first atomic bomb explosion spreads over the Trinity test site near Alamagordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. Within six-thousandth of a second, the cloud’s diameter was greater than 100 m (328 ft). The cloud rose to an altitude of 12,000 m (40,000 ft).Encarta EncyclopediaThe Image Works/Topham
The Chicago Group
Some of the scientists who helped design the world's first controlled nuclear chain reaction stand outside a building on the University of Chicago campus. Italian-born American physicist Enrico Fermi, front row, left, oversaw the experiment and also made the key discovery that graphite could be used to control a chain reaction. The refugee Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, mid-row, right (in trench coat), was the first to realize that a chain reaction—the continuous release of nuclear energy—was possible and could be used to make a powerful bomb.Encarta EncyclopediaThe Image Works/Topham |
