The Nuclear Weapon

ADMIN 10th January, 2025

Nuclear weapons are very powerful and dangerous devices that release huge amounts of energy. Since they were first developed, these weapons have played a big role in global military strategies. The story began in World War II, when scientists discovered how to split atoms, which led to the creation of atomic bombs in the U.S. through the Manhattan Project. In 1945, these bombs were tested and later dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending the war but showing the world the frightening power of nuclear weapons.

After the war, other countries like the Soviet Union, the UK, France, and China started making their own nuclear weapons. There are two main types: atomic bombs (using fission) and hydrogen bombs (which are even stronger and use both fission and fusion). Testing these weapons caused a lot of fear about nuclear fallout, which spreads dangerous radiation over large areas. While having nuclear weapons gives countries strong Military power, it also brings great risks. Because of this, many treaties have been made to try to reduce and control the number of weapons.
