Nuclear Weapons

They had far more to do reconstructing the fire bombed cities of the country than the two a-bombed cities. The fire bombed cities had much much worse damage and were more completely destroyed.

It depends on how many kilotons the bomb has which is pretty much literally its destructive power. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World WarII was called little boy and had either 25, 30, or 35 kilotons(sorry i can't remember the exact amount) and reached about 0.5 or 1 mile from where it was dropped in all directions. Little boy was the first atomic bomb ever used. Hope this answers your question correctly =)

The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki RB

"Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima Monday, August 6, 1945.

Nobody can say that "someone" "invented" the "first" weapon. A long time ago, when people started using tools, "tools for defence and attack" came along too, which we now call weapons. But we reckon that it was ancient greeks.

Throughout the world during the World War II era, some people were opposed to the conflict on religious and moral grounds, while others fundamentally believed that the political differences between the Axis Powers and the Western Allies did not necessitate war (even at the expense of the sovereignty of nations already occupied by the Axis). In America, a strong isolationist sentiment dominated until 1941, with many Americans believing that the war did not pose any threat to American security. Furthermore, numerous Americans believed that domestic troubles within America's borders should take priority over any overseas involvements by American military forces.

Uranium from from Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories were used in the creation of the bomb

+ many scientists both french and English participated

The Korean War saw the first use of the helicopter, which was employed as an airborne ambulance, as well as for moving officers around front areas. The jet became the standard form of aircraft, although some piston planes were still used. Radio became widely used by field elements, allowing better co-ordination of troop movements. Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) diving gear were used for the first time.

At the peak level (1965), the US had about 32,000 nuclear warheads of all types. In 1989, the USSR had accumulated a stockpile of as many as 45,000 warheads, some of which were unaccounted for immediately after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. But most of these were never armed, and would have become inoperable within a few years. The risk was that the fissonable elements might be exposed or be tampered with.

It would be 50/50 depending on where it was.

Assuming the war did not go nuclear, the United States has the most technically advanced military giving them a big advantage in conventional war, however, it really depends on who attacks who first. Regardless of which, the war would be enormous. It would easily dwarf WWII and the lives of Americans and Russians would greatly be changed. It would not be hard to assume that a large majority of the invaded population would be killed. And in the case of the United States, a loss of democracy and an installment of a police state that would be hard to get ride of for years to come. Due to the fact that liberty would be dropped to help the war effort such as the draft, limitless president terms etc. think of the Patriot act but 10 times more so. It would be a reasonable prediction that the US would win the war (don't forget US allies such as NATO), but it would be an extremely heavy pyrrhic victory. So much so that the country wouldn't really even be the US anymore but something new. To put it blunt there would be no winner.

Advantages/Russia

Russias biological Weapon systems out number U.S. and Russias tanks,helicopters,vehicals outnumber U.S's

Advantages/U.S.

U.S's infantry are highly trained,so as helicopter pilots,tank drivers,vehicals and any plane fighters are convoy pilots.

U.S. technology is greater then Russias.

U.S. has more task force specilized armed fources then Russia.

U.S. has more allies like,Canadian armed fources,UK armed fources,Europe specilized task fource.

Although it depends where the war happends.if Russia attacked unknowingly U.S. would have a devastanting critical hit.(CoD MW2)even if so U.S. armed forces and the natinol guard would be alerted before Russia would even get to fire one round on U.S. soil. task forces would be alerted,allies would be called in and Russia will probly be flanked from all directions.

if U.S. attacked unknowingly they wouldent do it in fource(probly like Russia would)they would send in U.S. navy seals to one side and send in task forces to wipe all natinol defence then come in like WW but risk surrounding countrys.

if they did use nukes the whole world would turn on either country who started the war.

The atomic bomb was not developed in Manhattan, but was developed by the Manhattan Project. The project was headed by General Leslie R. Groves Jr. with Robert J. Oppenheimer as scientific director and had several development sites across the United States. The primary facilities were Los Alamos, New Mexico, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Hanford Site in Washington state.

The reason the project was named Manhattan Project was that its original administrative offices were in Manhattan, at the existing US Army Corps of Engineers offices, until they were relocated to Oak Ridge, Tennessee when adequate facilities for such offices had been built. But the name Manhattan stuck (probably partly because it made a good "cover", hiding the purpose/location of the project - as the name "Radiation Lab" obscured the project working on RADAR).

The USA and Russia came to ocupy Korea because the helped Korea recover from all of the damage cause from World War Two then the just decided to each claim part of Korea since they had helped through this rough patch. They had spent a plentiful amount of time on recoving it that the considered it part of their land so each got half. One got Noth & the other got South.

While considerable scientific and theoretical work had begun as early as
1939, the Army Corps of Engineers set up the Manhattan Engineer
District in August of 1942 and advanced Colonel Leslie R. Groves to the
rank of Brigadier General one month later and placed him in charge.
Groves was responsible for establishing the Oak Ridge site and Los
Alamos, but the scientific effort was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Hiroshima, Japan was the first city to be bombed with a nuclear device. Hiroshima was bombed on August 6, 1945, when the B-29, named the Enola Gay, dropped the atomic bomb, "Little Boy," on it.

ultimately a bad thing because they're main objective is to kill millions of people. It leaves a huge ring of infected land through radiation so that nothnig can grow or live where a nuclear weapon went off. They could be good in one way. If people know that a country has nuclear weapons they are less likely to attack or bomb that country is fear of the other country respondign with a nuclear attack.

Ultimately bad...

If you examine the contaminated area around Chernobyl, the normal vegetation and wildlife grow and live quite well. They are doing much better than before the disaster as they are isolated from men.

Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were repopulated and rebuilt within 5 years of the end of WW2.

Both examples prove you wrong.

Yes we should to protect AMerica from Russia causing a nuclear war in which if we didn't have nuclear bombs we would lose and a Russian flag would hang over whats left of your house. We SHOULD have nuclear bombs.

That would be anyone's guess. There are only two nations with the capability to launch a missile that can reach the US are Russia and China, and only Russia could do more than hit the west coast.

There is also the philosophy of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) that was invented by American politics to consider. Not that the current president would be insane enough to commit to a nuclear response (that would potentially initiate nuclear holocaust), but the military response would border on genocidal.

Depends on just what you refer to as pollution.

Don't forget that nuclear power plants produce a great amount of heat

AND the radio-active substances that are produced are very long lived.

nuclear

Nuclear power has multiple dangers such as,

Power plant accidents- a notable one is Chernobyl but many have occurred

Radiation which causes cancer

Radioactive waste

If Nuclear war comes into play

Rather hard to answer, since you don't specify which type of weapon.

A knife is a weapon, as is a thermonuclear device.

Yet the development, let alone production, costs are hardly comparable.
