Overview:
The Atomic Bomb is perhaps the single greatest revolution in weaponry that the world has ever seen and possibly could ever see. Science of the 1930's helped develop the bomb, which still is a huge factor in modern day politics. On July 16, 1945 the very first nuclear device was detonated in New Mexico. Shortly after the Atomic Bomb was used offensively for the first time on Hiroshima and Nagasaki bringing a swift end to World War Two. Nuclear weapons then went on to become bigger and more plentiful, causing The Arms Race with The Soviet Union and bringing fear to the world. Even today nuclear devices threaten the world and are a major source of conflict in the Middle East and North Korea.
