Answer:
There are two opposing views on the Manhattan project. One, see it as one of United States greatest achievements from Second World War while others view it as a crime against humanity. Let's discuss this in detail.
Explanation:
Many hold the point of view that the Manhattan project resulted in the development of the deadliest weapon in history. It resulted in the deaths of more than a 100,000 people in Japan and continues to be a problem in the world today.
The other point of view is that the Manhattan project was necessary and if American had not developed it, the Germans would have, which would have made it a much more dangerous place. Supporters also point out to how it helped in the development of clean nuclear energy and nuclear medical science which benefits everyone today.
Personally, I agree that it was, at least, a necessary evil, which has protected the country and gave us tons of other benefits.
Answer:
Yes, language and culture would be different, daily life not necessarily so.
Explanation:
If the Spanish had overtaken the Jamestown colony, and had expanded from there to other parts of North America, they would have sent settlers from Spain to promote their language and religion: Spanish and Christian Catholicism, respectively.
The U.S. would still be a Western Nation, but more similar to Latin America than it is right now.
Daily life would not necessarily be that different. The country would have likely industrialized, and then, become a service-based economy, meaning that most people would have more or less the same lifestyle and jobs that they have today.
Good, since the U.S. Got to spread from Coast to coast, making it a larger nation.
