Proyecto Manhattan: La Apuesta Nuclear que Podía Destruirlo Todo | SLICE HISTORIA | DOC COMPLETO

1945. The United States had just devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with two atomic bombs, killing more than 180,000 people. These attacks marked the end of the Japanese Empire, which surrendered on September 2, 1945. But there is a little-known part of this story. The origin of this new nuclear weapon was not in America, but in Germany, where the Nazis were the first to research this revolutionary technology. Convinced that Hitler was about to build the atomic bomb, Roosevelt launched an unprecedented operation to beat the Nazis to it. Thus was born the Manhattan Project, the most ambitious secret operation in history, with an astronomical budget equivalent to $26 billion today, and the collaboration of the best scientists on the planet. Its sole objective: to build the bomb before anyone else. But the race wasn't only against Hitler. The Soviets were also on the prowl, determined to obtain the ultimate weapon at any cost. Alongside the World War, a silent and desperate war was being waged between the Allied powers, a race against time whose outcome would determine the fate of the world. This documentary, featuring stunning archival footage, interviews with historians, and the last living witnesses, reveals the secrets of a no-holds-barred race to master the most destructive power ever created.
