VŨ KHÍ HẠT NHÂNNó cũng thường được gọi là trong một số bộ phận đặc biệt nguy hiểm của thế giới, ví dụ Trung Đông và Ấn Độ / Pakistan biên giới khu vực, có những quốc gia mà có hoặc có công nghệ để sản xuất vũ khí hạt nhân. Nó cũng là giá trị ghi nhớ, Tuy nhiên, rằng quốc gia sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân khác hơn bất kỳ khác, Hoa Kỳ, là sức mạnh duy nhất bao giờ hết để có sử dụng vũ khí hạt nhân chống lại người. Vũ khí hạt nhân được phát triển tại Hoa Kỳ trong chiến tranh thế giới thứ hai, được sử dụng chống lại Đức. Tuy nhiên, khi những quả bom đầu tiên đã sẵn sàng để sử dụng, chiến tranh với Đức đã kết thúc, và kết quả là, quyết định đã được thực hiện để sử dụng các loại vũ khí chống lại Nhật bản thay thế. Hiroshima và Nagasaki đã phải chịu những hậu quả của quyết định này cho đến ngày nay. The real reasons why bombs were dropped on two heavily-populated cities are not altogether clear. A number of people in 1944 and early 1945 argued that the use of nuclear weapons would be unnecessary, since American Intelligence was aware that some of the most powerful and influential people in Japan had already realized that the war was lost, and wanted to negotiate a Japanese surrender. It was also argued that, since Japan has few natural resources, a blockade by the American navy would force it to surrender within a few weeks, and the use of nuclear weapons would thus prove unnecessary. If a demonstration of force was required to end the war, a bomb could be dropped over an unpopulated area like a desert, in front of Japanese observers, or over an area of low population inside Japan, such as a forest. Opting for this course of action might minimize the loss of further lives on all sides, while the power of nuclear weapons would still be adequately demonstrated.All of these arguments were rejected, however, and the general consensus was that the quickest way to end the fighting would be to use nuclear weapons against centres of population inside Japan. In fact, two of the more likely reasons why this decision was reached seem quite shocking to us now. Since the beginning of the Second World War, both Germany and Japan had adopted a policy of genocide (i.e. killing as many people as possible, including civilians). Later on, even the US and Britain had used the strategy of fire bombing cities (Dresden and Tokyo, for example) in order to kill, injure and intimidate as many civilians as possible. Certainly, the general public in the West had become used to hearing about the deaths of large numbers of people, so the deaths of another few thousand Japanese, who were the enemy in any case, would not seem particular unacceptable- a bit of “justifiable” revenge for the Allies’own losses, perhaps. The second reason is not much easier to comprehend. Some of the leading scientists in the world had collaborated to develop nuclear weapons, and this development had resulted in a number of major advances in technology and scientific knowledge. As a result, a lot of normal, intelligent people wanted to see nuclear weapons used; they wanted to see just how destructive this new invention could be. It no doubt turned out to be even more “effective” than they had imagined.
