What was the effect when nuclear weapons were developed in World War 2?

The immediate effect was that Japan sued for peace. There is a movement underway to condemn the Americans (even in their own country) for the use of the nuclear weapon. Given the situation at the time, a new untried weapon would have been justified. There was no possible way to know what the consequences of nuclear weapons would be. Now, over 60 years later, nuclear energy has a history. Then, in World War 2, it was new, untried, and very likely could have failed. Sadly, war is just that...WAR. The objective is to win the war with as little human loss as possible. When new technology is developed, no one knows what the consequences will be in the future.

Why does Iran insist on having nuclear energy?
For many Iranians, having nuclear power is a symbol of being a part of the developed world. They see the world preventing them from having nuclear weapons as part of a larger act of Europeans and Americans to prevent Iran from rising to be a first world country. They also consider it to be a question of double standards when Israel, India, and Pakistan are allowed nuclear weapons and nuclear power, but Iran is allowed neither.
