How many times has an atomic bomb been dropped?
The US dropped 50 atomic bombs from airplanes between 1945 and 1962 (2 in combat on Japan, 48 in test shots). Over 1000 were detonated in other ways in test shots between 1945 and 1992. The USSR, UK, and France also dropped atomic bombs from airplanes and detonated many in other ways in test shots (but never used any in combat).
When was Nuclear warfare created?
Presumably it came part and parcel with the invention of the atomic bomb. Two atomic bombs, dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, caused Japan to surrender to the United States in World War II, and ended the war in the Pacific. To date, these remain the only times a nuclear bomb has been detonated in an attack against another country, rather than as a test.
How many atomic bombs were tested after World War 2?
In all nations, several thousand- the exact number is not pulic information. 982 were tested at the Nevada Test Site alone.

Which state did the British test their first Atomic Bomb?
The british tested their atomic bombs in Australia.
What was Nevada's role in the creation and production of the atomic bomb?
Nevada neither participated in the creation nor production of the atomic bomb. However both atomic bombs and reduced yield hydrogen bombs were tested at the Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas from 1951 to 1992 (above ground atmospheric tests ended in 1962). The test results were used by the design labs (Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore) to optimize the bombs and design variants of existing bombs. The Nevada Test Site does continue to be used for underground subcritical atomic device testing to get data for optimization of computer models used for atomic bomb design.
Where was the first atomic bomb made?
It was designed and the kits of parts were crated at Los Alamos, NM. The Trinity test device was assembled at the Trinity site. The two bombs dropped on Japan were assembled on the island of Tinian.
How long ago were the atomic bombs dropped?
The only time atomic bombs were dropped in combat was in 1945.The last time either the US or USSR dropped an atomic bomb for test purposes was in 1963.When my brother was in the army in Germany doing maneuvers with nuclear antitank landmines, he dropped an atomic bomb on his hand squashing one finger like a stepped on hotdog. (of course this is a different sense of meaning of the word dropped) This was in the late 1970s.Other countries may have dropped atomic bombs for test purposes more recently.
