Role  It was a project to make bombs. These bombs were to end the war quickly. I think that they had a little rage and wanted to get revenge for Pearl Harbor.  The role was to immediately end the war and save American soldiers lives.

Impact on WW2  It made a huge impact on the war. Soon after the Manhattan Project had success, the Soviet Union made their own atomic bombs. This has a great risk with humanity.

Portrayed by History  According to Think Quest. Org “Undoubtedly, the atomic bomb is the most powerful destructive force that mankind has ever wielded. However, many scientists defend their participation in it's creation.”  Some scientists felt guilt after the bomb was fired.  "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."  - Bhagavad-Gita,  quoted by Oppenheimer at the first testing of the atomic bomb 

Is this fair or accurate  At Los Alamos during World War II there was no moral issue with respect to working on the atomic bomb. Everyone was agreed on the necessity of stopping Hitler and the Japanese from destroying the free world. It was not an academic question ‚ our friends and relatives were being killed and we, ourselves, were desperately afraid. -Joseph O. Hirschfelder, chemist  At Los Alamos we had some conversations on the subject and I must admit that my own position was that the atom bomb is no worse than the fire raids which our B-29s were doing daily in Japan, and anything to end the war quickly was the thing to do. -George B. Kistiakowsky  They just wanted the war to end and they would do anything to stop it. Some think that they did it out of revenge from the Pearl Harbor attacks. Others will say they did it for the greater good.
