Why did the Soviets make nuclear weapons?

The U.S developed nuclear weapons to scare the Japanese and end world war 2 for the Americans ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! Actually the U.S. developed nuclear weapons in WW2 in an arms race with the supposed Nazi Germany project to do the same. Unknown to us, the German project soon stalled and concentrated on reactors not bombs. When Germany surrendered in spring 1945 the U.S. project continued as it was so close to finishing. In August the only 2 nuclear bombs used in war were dropped on Japan, prompting their surrender and ending the war. They were developed to defend against a possible German threat but got used against Japan to end the war. After the war, development slowed but was prompted by fears of the expansion of Soviet Communism. Development accelerated again after the USSR's 1949 test of their first nuclear bomb, causing an extended arms race.


Should the US maintain nuclear weapons in World War 2?

This is a moot question. At the very end of WW II, the United States had built two nuclear bombs, both of which were ultimately dropped on Japan. That was all they had - a third one would have taken several more months to build. And World War II ended 66 years ago.
