Read the quote from Albert Einstein.
"I made one great mistake in my life, when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atomic bombs be made; but there was some justification—the danger that the Germans would make them."
What is the most likely reason why Einstein called this his "one great mistake"?
- He was afraid for his personal safety because of attacks on scientists.
- He did not want to be credited for developing deadly atomic weapons.
- He was wrong about his concern about other countries making an atomic bomb.
- He understood the potential for the destruction the bomb could cause in the world.
