What has become known as the Einstein-Szilard Letter was influential in the months that followed in the US initiating its own programme to develop a nuclear weapon.

人物档案
The Manhattan Project, the US government's programme to develop a nuclear weapon, was initiated on a piecemeal basis late in 1939, just weeks after the receipt of the Einstein-Szilard Letter.
Consequently, Szilard and two fellow Hungarian physicists, Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner, composed a letter to the US government warning of the risks of the Nazis developing a nuclear weapon before any other state.
A number of European physicists, foremost amongst which was the Hungarian Leo Szilard, realised exactly how possible it now was that a dedicated research team could develop a nuclear warhead.
