Introduction
Since the advent of nuclear weapons in the first half of the 20th Century, few countries have been able to make them or gain access to them, and for good reasons. Nuclear bombs – also called atomic or atom bombs – are detonated by triggering a fission reaction that splits heavy atoms and releases a tremendous quantity of energy. Nuclear bombs are the most destructive weapon that human beings have ever created, and though many have been detonated for testing purposes, only two have ever been used during wartime.
During the Second World War, two nuclear bombs were dropped in the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in August 1945. It is estimated that around 200,000 to 250,000 people died due to the explosions, though nobody knows the exact figures of the human lives that were lost, and estimates vary. Many others who didn’t die succumbed prematurely due to injuries and radiation poisoning sustained by the blasts.
Today, there are a handful of modern nations that possess nuclear weapons, and not all of those nations are close allies to one another, keeping humanity within a perilous existence where it is never completely improbable that nuclear weapons could be used again. However, after the end of the Cold War in 1991, tensions between nuclear powers eased tremendously. Countries such as Russia and Iran today pose the greatest nuclear threat to the world.
