The history of nuclear bombs:

Nuclear bombs have a tragic history. They've been used twice in war. In World War Two, the U.S unwisely dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. One was named "little boy" and the other "fat man." The destruction of the nuclear bombs were catastrophic. Researchers estimate over 250,000 people died from the explosion and that most of them were civilians. Even if that was an exaggeration, people are still dying because of illness and disabilities from nuclear waste.


Although the bombs dropped on Japan did help the war, in all, nuclear bombs were more destructive than helpful. The destruction affects not only Japan, but the whole world, because of the way the diseases from nuclear waste are obviously spreading. We will never know what else could have made Japan give up. There has to be a better way than murdering over 250,000 people, including mostly civilians.
