First Atomic Bomb On Aug. 6, 1945 The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, not just once but twice. Despite devastating affects the U.S believed that bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki would speed the end of war and ultimately save American lives. Hiroshima had long been a key transportation hub. At the beginning of the Showa Era,( "period of enlightened peace/harmony" or "period of radiant Japan"), the population had reached 200,000, and the city was the political and economic…

debated whether it was necessary or justified. Many think it was justified because it ended the war with much less casualties, ended the war quickly, and the fact that japanese had the motto of no surrender. Prior to the idea of the engaging nuclear warfare, the United States had intentions to invade japan with our soldiers. Japan had an army that consisted of two million soldiers(The Decision to Drop the Bomb) ready to defend against an invasion. If the invasion would have happen it could…

Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) remains one of the most significant threats to the national security of the United States and is one of the most complex strategic issues due to the far reaching effects caused by the mere possession of such weapons by a nation state. While in the past the development of WMD has been primarily for deterrent effects, today the threat encompasses the potential of terrorist organizations to utilize these weapons for furtherance of their ideals and…

Words of Helmut Walz, a german soldier: “On the day when I was wounded, that was the 17th October 1942, we went towards the red barricades. I think it was a metallurgical factory, and behind it was a gun factory. And what else was there? There was also - what do you call it - a steelworks? Yeah, that’s the Red October steelworks. And we were outside. That’s where the rubble field was. You had bomb craters and grenade craters and nothing else. So we fought our way to the factory yard of the red…

It is safe to say I have been holding up quite well until recently. It has been 2 months today since I have left and still the atrocities I have seen in this time are unbearable. The constant warfare is exhausting and everyday I fear I will lose my life. Right now i am under a small cover in a trench. It is hard to write with the constant barrages of shells hitting the ground. I can almost tell by the sound how far the impact is. Everyday I am out here I grow more and more fatigue with limited…

Special Weapons To avoid defeat, Iraq sought out every possible weapon. This included developing a self-sustaining capability to produce militarily significant quantities of chemical warfare agents. In the defense, integrating chemical weapons offered a solution to the masses of lightly armed Basif and Posdoran. Chemical weapons were singularly effective when used on troop assembly areas and supporting artillery. When conducting offensive operations, Iraq routinely supported the attacks with…

The Manhattan Project initially -prévu to advance a similar project (hypothetical?) Of nazis- was intended for use for destructive purposes phenomenal amount of kinetic energy released by nuclear fission. It will allow the development of an atomic bomb that will put an end to the fierce resistance of the Japanese in 1945. The project is exemplary because it is the most vivid illustration of the diversion by the policy of the most spectacular advances in science. The "actors" of this discovery,…

North Korea has demonstrated actions that represent a global, humanitarian, and regional threat. The global threat is based upon their threat of using nuclear weapons against other distant coun-tries. The regional issue comes from their aggressive threats to countries in the area. The hu-manitarian threat however, is the most pressing of the three, because it involves aggression against their own defenseless citizens that is currently occurring. Many people in North Korea are put into camps as…
