The United States is the only nation to have used nuclear weapons against another state; during World War II, it dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It had been working covertly on the “Manhattan Project” in the 1940s, developing the first nuclear weapon.
These bombings marked the first and only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, and their devastating effects caused widespread horror and led to calls for nuclear disarmament.
The bombings remain controversial, with some arguing that they were necessary to end the war and save lives, while others contend that they were a violation of international law and that alternative methods could have been used to bring an end to the conflict.
Regardless, the use of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a profound impact on international relations and the development of nuclear weapons. It led to the creation of the United Nations and the establishment of international norms against the use of such weapons.
The bombings also set off a nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the threat of nuclear war and global annihilation during the Cold War…..S££ MOR£
