History of nuclear weapons chronicles the development of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are devices that possess enormous destructive potential that uses energy derived from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, and finally with the questions of proliferation and possible use for terrorism in the early 21st century.

The first fission weapons, also known as "atomic bombs," were developed in, and partially by, the United States during World War II in what was called the Manhattan Project. In August 1945 two were dropped on Japan. An international team was dispatched to help work on the project. The Soviet Union started development shortly thereafter with their own atomic bomb project, and not long after that both countries developed even more powerful fusion weapons also called "hydrogen bombs." During the Cold War, these two countries each acquired nuclear weapons arsenals numbering in the thousands, placing many of them onto rockets which could hit targets anywhere in the world. Currently there are at least nine countries with functional nuclear weapons. A considerable amount of international negotiating has focused on the threat of nuclear warfare and the proliferation of nuclear weapons to new nations or groups.

There have been (at least) four major false alarms, the most recent in 1995, that almost resulted in the US or Russia launching its weapons in retaliation for a supposed attack. Nuclear armed countries produce it in Russia - US - France - Israel - UK
China - India
Pakistan - North Kore and may by Iran too

    Uh...what has hating Muslims got to do with being a Nazi? Please explain, because last I heard, Muslims allied themselves with Nazis in WW2 to exterminate the Jews.
    Also, what exactly does the Quran have to do with race? You call me racist, and yet I never said anything about any race. I'm confused. I guess I'll just go ahead and call YOU a racist for daring not to share my opinion.

    Racist ignorant scum with the IQ of 2. Oh how good I feel about myself saying such a thing.

    p.s, kill muslims.

  • I would say the ...

    I would say the same too for anybody with a Bible, Torah, or any other religion.

    What religion you have doesn't matter, only the insanity to kill others to in force your view. Killing doesn't make the world safe, it makes you feel safe because you are doing the killing, and no other.

    I'd say a good way to guarantee world safety would be to liquidate anyone who owns a Quran.
