The value of honor was instilled in the Japanese at a young age and nothing was worse than being killed by the enemy and dishonoring their country and empire . This inherent Japanese nature justified why the

China fell soon after as the previous uk territory of hong kong was used as a missile platform for twenty new generation nuclear devices and then SAM mounted trident missiles all aimed a heavily populace areas. There was very little resistance as all the big targets were either neutralized by means of espionage or completely obliterated by insurgence planted small yield nuclear warheads.

Nuclear weapons are the safest defense mechanism in the world. Although nuclear weapons can lead to mass destruction and the loss of thousands of lives when detonated, they are the optimal solution to the conflicts between countries in the future. The actual use of the nuclear weapon is not the deterrent, but rather just the mere fact that a country could use it against another country which avoids the large scale conflict. Thus, nuclear deterrence presents itself as a preferred security option.
Germany. This lead to the nuclear arms race between the U.S and Russia. In 1949, the Soviet Union tested an atomic bomb,
these are valid reasons but many people believe the main reason is because other countries also have nuclear weapons now. Unlike back in world war two when America was the first country to develop a successful Atomic bomb, they didn’t have to worry about getting touched by anyone else. Little did America know that since the bombings it has been a race for other countries to develop their own nuclear weapons. The atomic bomb got its start in Los Alamos New Mexico.
century, nuclear bombs have played an essential role in world politics and influenced the dynamics of warfare. The nuclear bomb possesses the capability of destroying an entire city in a matter of seconds. No other weapon would be capable of accomplishing that goal. Some people may say that because of the catastrophic and world-ending possibilities that the nuclear bomb would cause, future wars would be prevented. This point-of-view does not take into consideration that if a full-scale nuclear war

In a highly controversial decision, on August 3, 1945, Harry S. Truman gave the order to drop a nuclear bomb on Japan to force their surrender. It instantly vaporized seventy thousand people, and it killed 100,000 more in the years that followed from radiation poison and its various effects on the human body. The bomb was negatively viewed by many people
bomb, will initiate the beginning or the ending of an era of humankind. Seeing as hundreds of thousands of lives have been affected by nuclear warfare, the development and use of nuclear weapons have become a controversial dispute in the past decades and still remain a prominent issue in our world today. Prior to their execution in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear bombs detonate for the purpose of testing and demonstration over thousands of times, causing radiation and threatening environmental damage
Kennedy Johnson AP Euro Mr. Chin May 26, 2016 The Nuclear Arms Race After the end of World War II, the world was left with the two global Superpowers, the U.S and the the Soviet Union. Having completely contradicting government ideologies, these two countries desperately fought each other over foreign influence, inspiring what is known as the Cold War.
