The following passage is an excerpt from a letter from scientist Albert Einstein to US president Franklin Roosevelt. Read the ex

cerpt and then answer question that follows. Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future. . . . This new phenomenon would . . . lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable . . . that extremely powerful bombs of a new type could thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by a boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port as well as some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might prove to be too heavy for transportation by air. In view of this situation, you may think it desirable to have some permanent contact between the Administration and the group of physicists working on chain reactions in America.
Based on the lesson, which event was a direct result of Einstein’s letter?
A) the arms race to produce nuclear weapons between two world superpowers
B) the discovery that nuclear reactions could be used to create energy
C) the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop
D) the first atomic bomb the use of nuclear power as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels

The correct answer is C) the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop.

Based on the lesson, the event that was a direct result of Einstein’s letter was the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop.

We are talking about the famous "Einstein-Szilard letter," that was written to the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was Alexander Sachs -a close friend of President Roosevelt- who delivered the letter to him on October 11, 1939. The content of the letter left a big impression in Roosevelt's mind, he ordered the creation of an advisory Uranium Committee. Years later, on December 28, 1942, President Roosevelt ordered the creation of the Manhattan Project to create nuclear weapons.

The following political cartoon is depicting what U.S policy following World War II
mojhsa [17]

You didn't show us a cartoon, but I would guess it has to do with CONTAINMENT policy, which was the US foreign policy following World War II.

I've attached a political cartoon below, which shows how, at that time, the United States viewed the threat of Soviet communist expansion.  Under its foreign policy of containment, the United States aimed to keep the Soviet Union from expanding communism outside its borders.


Explanation/context:

The policy of containment focused on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.  It influenced US foreign policy by prompting intervention in places like Korea to stop the spread of communism.

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II.  Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]
