During WWII, the A-Bomb was a tool of war; because it was USED in war (ending WWII). During the COLD WAR (1945-1990) the A-Bomb was a tool of peace, because TOTAL wars could NO LONGER BE FOUGHT; without risking mutual destruction. Only "Limited Wars" could now be fought; such as the Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975). Limited Wars defined as "Restricted to a certain region & and NO ATOMIC WEAPONS could be used." After the Cold War in 1990; the rise of military Operations became common, because there were NO COLD WAR ENEMIES to stop the US from conducting these operations.
