By far one of the biggest mistakes of humanity has been nuclear war and nuclear weapons. Even after copious amounts of death and destruction, mankind continues to threaten each other with these weapons of horrid violence. Some of the most notable bombings in history are the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now things like this may happen in the future.     On August 6, 1945 the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, resulting in the end of World War II, as stated in
