Fear of loss of face.
Tested it's first atomic bombs apex
Shock, awe, fear, amazement and horror, depending on your view of the war.
In the early morning hours of July 16, 1945, great anticipation and fear ran rampant at White Sands Missile Range near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project, could hardly breathe. Years of secrecy, research, and tests were riding on this moment. I think it is obvious that this Q is as difficult to rationalise as the one Truman was asked. There can be no right answer: Either way many people are going to die. I suppose the simple truth is that using the Atomic Bomb Truman ensured that the deaths would be those of the Japanese & not those of invading US forces. The straight answer to the question has to be yes: But it is not something one would wish on ones worst enemy.
Countires will have a race to build atomic bombs of their own, or fear the U.S. but only one is highly likely.

No nation dropped an atomic weapon during the cold war. The cold war is not the same as World War 2. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan by the US at the end of World War 2. The cold war is called 'cold' because it was not an actual armed conflict. It was a period marked by a conflict of ideologies, propaganda and fear.
After the U S dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Japanese had no other choice but to surrender. The US totally destroyed all of their resources and killed thousands of innocent people in the process.
To show the power of the United States and cause fear to make japan surrender.
Nothing, you can't stop using something you haven't started using. The only country that has ever used atomic bombs is the US, that was to cause Japan to stop fighting during WW2; when they surrendered the US stopped using the atomic bombs on Japan.If instead you really meant "What prevents countries from using the atomic bomb?"; that is a far more complex question to answer.Most countries are prevented from using atomic bombs simply because they don't have them. It costs a significant investment to set up the infrastructure needed to make them and few countries wish to make such an expenditure when they have higher priorities.Formally, many countries are prevented from using atomic bombs because they have signed treaties against using them. But they could either choose to withdraw from or abrogate these treaties at any time, so such treaties only prevent a country from doing what it isn't planning on doing anyway.Some countries are prevented from using atomic bombs by public opinion.It has frequently been claimed that fear of nuclear retaliation prevents countries armed with atomic bombs from using them on each other. One form of this idea is called MAD. However one can never be certain that a leader with no such fear might come to power in a country and just attack anyway.etc.
