Copy into notebooks:
In 1931, Albert Einstein was interviewed about his view on war. He was very clear that he did not believe in war and wanted peace. He believed that the money put into the war should be used for the economy. However, in 1939, his view changed. He wrote a letter to President Roosevelt explaining how Germany had uranium and could build nuclear bombs. Einstein did not want to encourage war, however, he thought perhaps the US should keep an "eye" on Germany's activities and build weapons to defend ourselves if necessary.
