"Cold war" and "hot war" can be used as general, descriptive terms, as demonstrated above.

What was the significance of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
The Doolittle raid was America's first strike back at the Japanese during the war. With Japan running through the Pacific much like the Germans did to Europe in the beginnings of WWII , this was the first opportunity for the US to go on the offensive, with previous battles being solely defensive. We struck the Japanese home land, which Japan thought could not be done by the fact that the US Navy was severly damaged by the attack on Pearl Harbor. It lifted the morale of the entire country by letting the Japanese know that we were down but not defeated.
Who was impacted by the bombing of Hiroshima?
Japan was directly affected by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were required in order to get the Japanese to surrender. Japan was a nation where to "surrender was to loose face", so Japan would Not have surrendered without the atomic bomb attacks.

There is no way to unlearn the secret of atomic bombs and to put the genie back into the bottle. The enitre planet Earth has been affected by the bomb since WW2.

The USS California sinks in her berth.
The USS UTAH is destroyed.
The USS Nevada without her caption makes a run for open water but the Japanese see a chance to sink her in the channel, therefore blocking the accesses to the ocean for all the ships. She takes 6 bombs and a torpedo hit. The crew runs her aground at "Hospital Point" This prevents her from sinking and keeps her guns above water and in the fight.
The USS Vestal (Repair ship) takes several hits. When the Arizona explodes the deck crew on the Vestal is completely blown off the ship, including her caption. He swims back onboard and countermands the order to "Abandon ship." He beaches his ship which is badly listing and keep fighting with his 30 calibers and several small 5in guns. She is not a fighting ship by design. But she fight.
One of the destroyers, without her caption, makes it to open water where she has a better chance to fight. The crew is commanded by four junior Ensigns who have less than 1 year in the service and no "Combat Experience". It's 4 days before the Captain makes it back onto his ship.
The Dutch Cruse liner JAGERSFONTEIN who sailed in from Holland, had machine guns mounted onboard to protect her from possible attack while crossing the Atlantic. She open fire on the Japanese attackers, thus becoming the first foreign nation to assist the United States.

There were many different ways of attacking castles, not all of which would work on any give castle.
One was to lay siege to the castle. If the castle had insufficient food or water, this would work. If a siege wore on, it could be as devastating to the people outside the castle as to those in it.
Another way to attack a castle was to run men up to the walls with ladders, and have them climb over the top. It took courage.
A battering ram could be used at the castle gate. This took courage also. People in castles sometimes threw oil down on the battering rams and set them on fire. When that happened, the men working them could be burned alive.
Catapults could also be used to break down the gate or the walls.
Siege towers were towers on wheels. If the castle was on level ground and had no moat, the siege towers could be run up to the walls and give attackers both protection while they were climbing, and a way in. Siege towers could also be toppled or lit on fire.
Sometimes attackers would lay siege to a castle and use catapults to throw rotting bodies of animals or parts of people who had died of diseases over the walls into the castle. That way they could make the people inside sick. They could also make their own people sick, so it was not done as commonly as it is written about.
If a siege was lasting too long, and if it was possible to do so, the attacking army sometimes dug a mine under the castles walls and then caused the walls to collapse. One way to do this was to build a room under the walls, then fill it with something that would burn slowly, such as the bodies of fat pigs, light the fire, and let the fire weaken the walls to the point that they fell down.
