I'm going to assume you meant six to be your answer for number 4, not 5. In that case, you got #1, 4, and 6 correct.

1. France and England

4. Six

History lesson: Little Boy was the name of the uranium-armed atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Fat Man was the name of the plutonium-armed atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

I can't recall the name of the site of the first test explosion in Nevada.

Those were the names for the two bombs...the code name for the New Mexico test (which was supposed to be the first blast, even though a bomb had secretly been sent to the pacific) was Trinity. The collective bugger up was the Manhattan Project.
