How did the deployment of nuclear weapons effect global warming?
I am pretty sure the deployment of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not affect global warming. There is no evidence to suggest that the deployment of nuclear weapons in the second World War affected global warming in any way.
What war were nuclear weapons used in and why?
Nuclear weapons have only been used in anger in the Second World War (WW2) - they were used against the Japan to bring the war to an end.
Does Britain have nuclear weapons?
Yes. Both strategic & tactical nuclear weapons. Great Britain has been a nuclear power since the end of the Second World War. The US & Britain cooperated in the secret nuclear program during WW2 that created the first atomic bombs.
Does the US nuclear weapons?
Does the U.S. have nuclear weapons? Yes there are five countries that obtained nuclear weapons in the aftermath of the Second World War: U.S., Great Britain, Russia, China, and France. These five signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to stop the expand of nuclear weapons. In the '70s both India and Pakistan began acquiring nuclear capability. North Korea, Iran, and Israel are controversial countries that are unkown for having yet obtained, but having hinted, at control of nuclear capability. I say nobody should have them.
Did the US unleash nuclear weapons during the cold war?
No. No nuclear weapons have ever been used in an act of war besides the two dropped on Japan during the Second World War. The United States and Russia both produced enormous amounts of nuclear weapons during the Cold War, though none were used.
What can you do to prevent the use of nuclear weapons?
Unless you are involved in governmental policy making, which most of us are not, the second best way to prevent the use of nuclear weapons is to raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear warfare and hopefully that will cause sufficient interest so that the government will act accordingly.
What were the Names of two atomic bomb projects?
* The Manhattan Project was the project assigned to researching the technology needed to create a nuclear weapon in the US. * The Uranverein was the German equivalent; the first ended after only a short time with little result; the second was marginally more successful. * Project 7 (Nuclear Weapons for the National Economy) was a Russian-based project that investigated peaceful uses for nuclear weapons. Many countries also have their own nuclear weapons projects.
Name the cities that have been bombed by nuclear weapons?
There have been two nuclear weapons detonated as offensive weapons during war. Both nuclear bombs were dropped by the United States on Japan near the end of World War II. The first nuclear weapon (code named "Little Boy") was detonated on August 6, 1945 over Hiroshima, Japan. The second (code named "Fat Man") was on August 9, 1945 over Nagasaki, Japan. The destruction was so horrific, that the fact of the destruction has served as a deterrent to the use of nuclear weapons ever since.
What were the nuclear weapons the countries used in the Cold War?
No nuclear weapons were used in the Cold War. The reason it is called that is that the United States and the Soviet union never came into direct military conflict. The only time that atomic weapons have been used was during the Second World War. The USA has only used nuclear weapons in combat twice. A Nuclear weapon has not been used in action since 1945. Many countries tested nuclear weapons during the cold war such as USA, Russia, France and the United Kingdom. While none were used in combat a wide variety were tested and you could argue that these were effectively used in the Cold War due to the fact their testing was a deterrent. Examples of nuclear weapons designed for use in the cold war include the USA's Castle Bravo, Russia's Tsar Bomb, the M-388 Davy Crockett and a variety of ICBM's.
What was the role played by nuclear weapons in the Korean War?
Korea was the FIRST "Limited War" (Vietnam was the SECOND) fought during the Cold War. Nuclear Weapons created the Cold War. A "Limited War" was fought with "limitations" on where the war would be fought and using only conventional weapons. Without Nuclear Weapons, the US/Allies would have probably invaded Red China, when Communist China entered the war. Which of course would have caused the Soviet Union to enter the war. Which naturally would have led to WW3. The Soviets tested their first Atomic Weapon in 1949.
Is it fair for the US to have nuclear weapons but not other countries?
First of all, other countries do have nuclear weapons. Just to get that straight. Second, in world politics, striving for "fairness" can have extremely dangerous ramifications, as other countries may, and will not be, like-minded. Though this is really a question that depends on your personal opinion, I would say that yes, it is fair, provided we (the US) do not abuse the privilege. Some countries do not have the technology for nuclear weapons. Should we give up our technology, and thus part of our global standing, for their lack?
Why do you suppose the number of deaths and casualties was higher in the second war?
Weapons were more destrutible. Nuclear boms, tanks and machine guns wade ww2 a place were persons died.
