The destruction was hard to imagine - after the explosions, which killed millions of people in just a second, the nuclear winter started. The nuclear winter was just a hypothetical thought before the War but soon it became reality. The surface temperature of Earth lowered drastically and the…

pocket (“The Discovery Of Radioactivity”). The discovery of radium and radioactivity would forever change the United States and its views of radiation. America would no longer need to develop better guns or grenades, but could focus on developing a nuclear bomb to carry the nation up to the status of a world power, no matter what the…
