Atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. What's the difference?

The term atomic bomb is a general one, and it can include both fission and fusion weapons. The hydrogen bomb (an "old term") is used in reference to a fusion device. Both are grouped under the contemporary term nuclear weapons, and we generally break down nuclear weapons into two types -- fission devices and fusion devices. The latter can only be set off by the former, so it takes a fission weapon to provide the energy needed to initiate the fusion reaction. Links can be found below for more information. The difference between nuclear and atomic bombs has to do with the fuel. Atomic bombs use only plutonium or uranium. Nuclear bombs use, in addition to plutonium or uranium, hydrogen. That is what makes them nuclear, unlike President Bush's mispronunciation: nucular. How funny is that? We had a president that had his finger on the button that would trigger nuclear destruction of all life forms on our planet, yet he could not even pronounce it properly? That is really scary!!! To fully answer the question: It does not really matter, if one happens to drop in your vicinity, the result is the same, the annihilation of all matter, including you.


What was Official acceptance of an independent nation is called?

Official acceptance of an independent nation is called "recognition." This process typically involves other states or international organizations acknowledging the sovereignty and legitimacy of the new nation.

How did empires relate to nation-states?

Empires and nation-states are both forms of political organization, but they differ in structure and identity. Empires typically encompass diverse cultures and territories under a centralized authority, often expanding through conquest or colonization. In contrast, nation-states are characterized by a defined territory, a permanent population, and a government that represents a specific national identity. The rise of nation-states often led to the decline of empires, as nationalist movements sought self-determination and autonomy from imperial rule.
