Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

Although nuclear weapons were last used in WW2, research and development of nuclear weapons have still been on-going and progressing rapidly since the initiation of the first nuclear project in 1942. However, current states that are in possession of such Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) to deter threats from other Nuclear-Weapon States (NWS), and to avoid an all out nuclear war, in particularly during the Cold War. Today, several noted groups and individuals supporting the abolition of nuclear weapons

The definition of a weapon of mass destruction is a chemical, biological or radioactive weapon capable of causing widespread death and destruction (Farlex).Nuclear weapons are the most destructive weapons the world has ever seen. They get their explosive power from transforming matter into energy. Nuclear weapons are classified as chemical, biological and radioactive weapons of mass destruction (FBI). Many people have venture in that their sizable power used during wars could destroy human development

Nuclear warfare is the use of nuclear weapons as a military strategy against enemies. Nuclear weapons or atomic weapons are bombs or missiles that use nuclear energy to explode and are considered the most powerful and destructive weapon ever created. The U.S. was the first country to build an atomic bomb in 1945 after Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, concerned about efforts in Nazi Germany to purify uranium-235 and create an atomic bomb. For this reason, the U.S. began The Manhattan

Atomic/Nuclear bomb The atomic bomb ended WWII when the United States dropped Fat Man and Little Boy on the japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is what started the arms race known as the Cold War between the United States and Russia, the two major world superpowers left after WWII. The effects of the massive arms race between the two countries still to this day affect every citizen in the world due to the fact so many weapons of mass destruction were made some were even lost. Along with

Cause of Nuclear Weapons: In 1939 just before the start of World War 2 Albert Einstein and several other scientists told the then president of the USA Franklin D. Roosevelt that Nazi Germany was putting efforts into purifying Uranium 235 which could be used to build an atomic bomb. The United States launched the Manhattan Project shortly after this which was committed to research and production that would produce a viable atomic bomb (Purohit V. 2004 Online “The Atom Bomb: A Brief History”).

“Title Needed” Conceptual Framework Nuclear Parity as a concept started prevailing in International relations in Cold War era. According to the Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms by US Department of Defense (2005): “Nuclear parity is a given condition at a given point in time when opposing forces possess nuclear offensive and defensive systems approximately equal in over all combat effectiveness”. As a theoretical concept it is regarding keeping a equilibrium in balance in power, weaponry

Thesis: In 1962, the United States had a conflict with the Soviet Union that almost caused a nuclear war, called the Cuban Missile Crisis. The conflict started because the Soviet Union created a nuclear missile base in Cuba in October of 1962. The Cuban Missile Crisis ended after thirteen days when both the United States and the Soviet Union made several compromises and the missile base was removed from Cuba. Historical Context: In 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union started the Cold War

Ever since the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the world has never been the same. People only got a glimpse of what the destructive power of a nuclear weapon could do to a city and how it affected the whole country of Japan. It was those two bombings that changed the way different countries would look at each other forever. According to the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, “Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons on earth. One can destroy a whole

attempting to conduct preemptive nuclear strike at Chinese nuclear plants. In 1992, Mongolian President Punsalmaagiin Ochirbat announced that his country would seek to become a one-state Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone (NWFZ).By the end of the cold

Connor Cummings Mrs. Meyer English 1 9 December 2016 Nuclear Nullification: The Threats of Nuclear Weapons Did you know that nine countries hold all 15,375 nuclear weapons on Earth? (World Nuclear Weapon Stockpile). Nuclear weapons are harmful to the environment, and of the 15,375 on Earth today, most are many times more powerful and harmful than the ones dropped on Japan in 1945. Nuclear weapons are harmful to the environment, and can affect the detonation area for years to come; therefore, we should
