America detonated the worlds first successful atomic bomb on July 16, 1945 3 months after Germany's defeat. In 1942 Enrico Fermi, a physicist, successfully controlled a nuclear reaction in his reactor called CP-1. CP-1 was located at the University of Chicago. The idea of forming a research team to create a nuclear weapon was endorsed in a letter than Einstein sent to Franklin Roosevelt. So you tell me how they stole German scientists and invented the A bomb in just 4 months.
