Why does the US use the atomic bomb?
When the atomic bomb was finished, Leo Szilard, a scientist in on the Manhattan Project (the Manhattan Project was the code name for the project to build and develop the atomic bomb), made a petition urging the President not to resort the use of atomic bombs in the war unless the news of the bomb had been made open in public and on terms that Japan knows and refuses to surrender. The petition was signed by over 150 scientists in on the project. A counterpetition garners only two signatures. Japan, of course, refused to surrender. The result was the flattening of two major cities in Japan.
How did the atomic bomb get started?
The atomic bomb project began during World War II, driven by fears that Nazi Germany was developing nuclear weapons. In 1938, the discovery of nuclear fission by German scientists prompted concerns about the possibility of a powerful bomb. This led to the U.S. government initiating the Manhattan Project in 1942, a secret program to research and develop atomic weapons. The project culminated in the successful detonation of the first atomic bomb in July 1945 in New Mexico, followed by its use against Japan in August 1945.
In what way is post-war Japan a Child of the Cold War?

The Manhattan Project, the development of the atomic bomb, was such a secret that even Vice President Truman didn't know about it until after he became President. (I don't know whether or not Vice President Wallace knew about the project.)
