    The Manhattan Project was a secret U.S. government operation during World War II to develop the first atomic bombs. J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, where scientists worked to build atomic bombs using uranium and plutonium before the Axis powers could. The project cost billions of dollars and revolutionized physics and chemistry through the creation of new atomic weapons that were eventually dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, helping to end the war.
