Answer:

Signed by Albert Einstein but written by Leó Szilard in consultation with physicists Edward Teller and Eugene Paul Wigner.

The letter was signed by Einstein on August 2, and given to Roosevelt by economist Alexander Sachs. It warned Roosevelt that Nazi Germany might be conducting research into the use of nuclear fusion to create atomic bombs and suggested that the United States should initiate its own research on the subject.  

However, it did not come into his hands until October 11 due to the president's concern with the German invasion of Poland, which would start World War II. After hearing Sachs' summary of the letter, Roosevelt authorized the establishment of the Uranium Advisory Committee. Shortly thereafter, the first funds were provided for neutron experiments, conducted by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago.

Why did the Mexican war of independence start what are the causes?
sammy [17]
Two things that helped spark the revolution were the salons and the location of Mexico. The revolution went on for 11 years, with much of it being fought by the peasants and low class citizens. Also, because of this divide the revolution had two different leaders when it first began. Because the country remained divided between upper and lower class, the Mexican forces were able to be easily defeated, thus making the revolution long and drawn out. An effect of this was that the rebel army had many different commanders, thus making it hard for any one of them to lead the revolution for long, with Morelos only serving for four years before his execution in 1815. This frequent change in command made it difficult to bridge the class divide and unite the country.
