Difference between Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Tube Alloys

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki vs. Tube Alloys

During the final stage of World War II, the United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. Tube Alloys was a code name of the clandestine research and development programme, authorised by the United Kingdom, with participation from Canada, to develop nuclear weapons during the Second World War.
