"How Did the Atomic Bomb Affect the Economy?" WikiAnswers. Answers, n.d. Web. 26 May 2013.
$2,000,000,000 (2 billion) dollars were spent from
the beginning to end of the development of the atomic
bomb. It also created jobs related to its development.
The atomic bomb led to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban
Treaty between the Soviet Union and 'Murika. Both
parties involved in this treaty were constantly testing
and developing their nuclear weapons arsenal so this
treaty was made to slow the arms race down and reduce
the immense amount of nuclear fallout being released
into our planet's atmosphere.

Leo Szilard's STEM area was mathematics. To be more precise it was physics, a topic he excelled at.

At first America's citizens were proud of the achievement
of the atomic bomb. It showed how great things can be made in the U.S. by some of our very bright individuals. Unfortunately as soon as images showing what happened in Japan started showing up (children with severe burns, people being vaporized and imprinted onto buildings, dead babies, dead women, and dead men everywhere) the morale towards the atomic bomb began to disappear. Americans started to think "what have we done?" once they started to process what happened to the defenseless civilians who were massacred.

Leo Szilard was born in Budapest, Hungary to
middle class parents. He showed an early interest in
physics and a proficiency in math (wish he was here to
teach me some math). In his senior year of high school
he won the Eotvos Prize which is a national prize in
Hungary for mathematics. He got a doctorate in physics
and was able to work with Einstein on many occasions.

For a brief moment American citizens gathered and
celebrated the end of the war thanks to Little Boy and
Fat Man. Parades happened, families got together, soldiers returned home, and many other cultural developments happened for a short time
Leo Szilard's impact on U.S. History is pretty major.
With his development of the atomic bomb World
War 2 was over without having to sacrifice additional
lifes of soldiers. But this invention came at a price -
many CIVILIANS were killed because of the 2 bombs
dropped in Japan. This weapon is also responsible for
the Cold War between us and the Soviet Union.
Whether this invention did more good than bad is up
to your opinion.
