Narrie, Scott & Pugsley, Don. “Trinity and Beyond”
U.S.A., September, 1995
This documentary showed me when and how the first atomic bombs
were used. It told gave me
information on the test sites the atomic bombs were used on and showed me what
happened when the atomic bombs were detonated over land, over water, under
water, over Hiroshima, and over Nagasaki.
Some of the people that helped contribute to the creation of the first
atomic bombs also spoke about the development of the bombs.

This video gave me information about the largest atomic bomb ever detonated
by man, the Tzar Bomb. I used the video to learn to what extent people would
go to just to seem threatenting to their enemies. The video also compared the
Tzar Bomb to the atomic bombs used on Japan. The first atomic bombs are
microscopic compared to the Tzar Bomb.
Websites
http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/cab/200708230009.html
This website gave me the estimated death toll cause by both atomic bombs combined
as well as separate. It listed possible ways the victims of the atomic bombs died. This
showed the force of each atomic bomb and the population of both Hiroshima and
Nagasaki before they were hit with the atomic bombs.

This website gave me a picture of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. I used this
for the timeline under the section about the nuclear test ban treaty. It also gave
me information about the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963.
http://www.audifaz.com/coldwar/armsrace.htm
This website gave me information about the nuclear arms race and the cold war.
It had information about the Tzar Bomb and how the Russians created the most
powerful atomic bomb that could be airlifted and dropped on its target.
http://college.cengage.com/history/us/resources/students/primary/atomicbomb.htm
This website told me the destruction the first atomic bombs
caused on Japan. It gave me information about what the explosions looked like
during and after detonation. It told me how the bombs changed the geographical
features in Japan and how many people died from the bombs. It told me how people
died; flash burns, radiation, or other injuries.

This website gave me a picture of Albert Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt,
explaining that Germany was trying to develop an atomic bomb. I used this picture
for the timeline under the section about Albert Einstein's letter.
http://users.dickinson.edu/~history/product/steele/seniorthesis.htm
This website told me the reactions several different people had about the atomic
bombs dropping in Japan. These reactions include the reaction of the co-pilot of
the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb. Also included is what
a seventh-grade girl wrote in her diary about the atomic bombs. I used this
information in the "Reaction" tab of my website.
http://www.disinfo.com/tag/nuclear-bombs/
This website gave me a picture of observers watching the detonation of an atomic
bomb. I used this picture under the "Reaction" tab to show the reactions people
had towards the atomic bomb tests and uses on Japan.
http://drzubkov.com/cardinal-knowledge/science/atomic-bomb/
This website gave me a picture of the explosion created by the first atomic bomb
detonated in warfare. I used this picture for the timeline inder the section about
the first atomic bombs detonated in Japan. I also found much information about
the calamity the atomic bomb caused to the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/nuclear_arms_race.htm
This website gave me information about the nuclear arms race. Countries were
competing with one another to have more destucive, lighter, and powerful bombs
so they could become the most powerful country.
http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/atomic_bomb.htm
This website told me how the United States got the idea to
develop an atomic bomb. It also told me Uranium-235 was needed to set off a
chain reaction to create the nuclear explosion. The website told me that the
code name for the first atomic bomb development in the United States was The
Manhattan Project. The bombs were also codenamed “the gadgets”.
http://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty.aspx
This website told me everything I needed to know about the Nuclear Test Ban Treaties.
This website had images and three pages of information detciated to the Nuclear Test
Ban Treaty of 1963, the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. I used the information in this website to write information
in the "Reform" tab of my website and in the nuclear test ban treaty section of the
timeline.
http://library.thinkquest.org/3471/abomb.html
This website told me what types of bombs atomic bombs were
dropped on Japan. It also told me how each bomb worked and detonated at the
precise time. The atom bomb detonated when atoms inside the bomb were split,
causing a huge energy to be violently expelled, creating the massive explosion.
In the hydrogen bomb, hydrogen nuclei fuse to create helium, which created huge
amount of energy that showed in another massive explosion.
http://machosmag-science.com
This wbsite gave me a picture of an atomic bomb explosion. I used this picture under
the "Revolution" tab. This picture is meant to show the force, heat, and power that
the atomic bomb creates. It is a visual reference of what is described in the text.
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/hiroshim.htm
This website gave me information about the development of the atomic bomb.
It had different pages of information about the atomic bomb's successes, failures,
and consequences.
http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/11/antiatoms-bottled-for-first-time.html?ref=hp
This website gave me a picture of the mechanics inside the first atomic bomb. It
labeled all the parts that made the atomic bomb function properly. I used this picture
for the timeline under the section about the first atomic bombs. I used this picture to
give people an idea of how the atomic bomb functioned, activated, and how it was built.
http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Med/Lbfm.html
This website gave me a picture of the first atomic bombs, "fat man" and "little boy".
I used the picture for the timeline under the section about the first atomic bombs.
I put this picture in to show what the first atomic bombs looked like and how they
differed in size and weight.
http://www.nukefix.org/weapon.html
This website showed blast effects of the atomic bombs. It has information
about the destuction the atomic bombs caused to Japan and the blast
scales to show the damage that was done to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0805.html
This website had a newspaper with the signers of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
on the front page. The treaty was signed in Moscow and there was more
information about the treaty on the website.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dp45at.html
This website gave me the specific code names for the bombs. It
also told me where the first atomic bombs were detonated and when.
The website said that one bomb was made of uranium and the other bomb was
made of plutonium.
http://www.radiochemistry.org/history/nuke_tests/
This website shows a chart with the United State's atomic bomb tests. It had the tests'
names, sites, dates, and number of bombs dropped during a particular test. This
website was useful when finding out how many atomic bomb tests the United States
had before the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty stopped all atomic bomb testing.
http://syzygyastro.hubpages.com/hub/History-and-Development-of-the-Atomic-Bomb
This website gave me information about the development of the atomic bomb
and what it took to make the bombs. It had information about Uranium,
Plutonium, and the mines and factories in which they were manufactured and
isolated in.
http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2009/08/dayintech_0805/
This website gave me a picture of President John F. Kennedy and others signing
the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. I used this picture in the "Reform" tab of my
website to show that this was a serious matter and was important that all
world leaders recognize the danger of the atomic bomb.
http://www.world-nuclear.org/education/uran.htm
This website gave me the exact percentage of Uranium-235 and uranium-238 in the
Earth's crust. This helped me by telling me how rare the element used to make atomic
bombs is and all the work scientists have to do to extract the Uranium-235.
