Only governments have nuclear (atomic) weapons. Their use is restricted by the threat of all out nuclear war and a number of treaties.


Which bomb can destroyed the whole world?

The most destructive weapon capable of causing widespread devastation is the thermonuclear bomb, commonly known as a hydrogen bomb. These bombs harness nuclear fusion, releasing energy far greater than that of atomic bombs used in World War II. While no single bomb can "destroy the whole world," a large-scale nuclear exchange involving multiple thermonuclear weapons could lead to catastrophic global consequences, including nuclear winter and mass extinction. The potential for such devastation underscores the importance of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation efforts.


How did the use of the atomic bombs impact the outcome or World War 2?

The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 significantly accelerated Japan's surrender, effectively bringing World War II to an end. The devastation caused by the bombs demonstrated the overwhelming destructive power of nuclear weapons, leading to Japan's unconditional capitulation on August 15, 1945. This not only influenced post-war geopolitics but also marked the beginning of the nuclear age, fundamentally altering international relations and military strategies in the years that followed.
