The first hydrogen bomb "Ivy Mike" was tested in 1952.
The hydrogen bomb was first tested in 1952 by the United States in a test known as "Ivy Mike." This bomb utilized nuclear fusion to release a significantly more powerful explosion compared to atomic bombs.
The first hydrogen bomb was tested at the Enewetak Atoll (also known as the Ivy Mike test) in the Marshall Islands on November 1, 1952.
1952 Ivy Mike. Tested on Eugelab island of Eniwetok Atoll. Erased the island.
Various countries are known to possess hydrogen bombs, including the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom. North Korea has also claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb.
A pure fission atomic bomb with a yield of a megaton or more is theoretically impossible. The problem is that the chain reaction would happen spontaneously before the device could even be completely built and the bomb parts would melt, resulting in a fizzle and killing everyone building it.The first fusion atomic bomb (commonly called a hydrogen bomb) was tested in 1952 as Ivy Mike and had a 10 megaton yield. The highest yield pure fission atomic bomb ever built was also tested in 1952 as Ivy King and had a 500 kilotons yield.
The hydrogen bomb was first successfully tested in 1952 by the United States.
The US program began in 1950 and tested its first device in 1952 and tested a deliverable bomb in 1954. The USSR program began in 1950 and tested a deliverable but limited bomb in 1953 and tested a full scale deliverable bomb in 1955.
Post WWII, Russians tested a hydrogen bomb. It was first deployed in 1960.

The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb ever tested.
The US tested a nondeliverable prototype device in 1952The USSR tested a deliverable but limited bomb in 1953 (this would not be considered a hydrogen bomb now, instead a boosted fission bomb)The US tested a deliverable bomb in 1954The USSR tested a deliverable bomb in 1955
The hydrogen ball was tested on August 12, 1953.
The island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll ceased to exist.
