How so? The construction and testing took place at Los Alamos, Oak
Ridge, Hanford, and Alamogordo, all of which are in the US. I believe
all the people directly involved were US citizens, though some
had been born elsewhere. The bombs were delivered by the USS
Indianapolis, an American ****p, and two B29s, American planes.
If I recall correctly, no other government was even aware of the
nuclear program until after Hiro****ma. Britain did have its own
program, but not much came of it.
The bombs were of course based on earlier discoveries, many of which
were made in other countries, especially Germany.
