Crude oil, natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels have been in use as an energy source for a long period but the fact that they are relatively expensive and emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when burnt…

from simple investments from military radar, to better trained armies, to even something as drastic as the nuclear missile program. North Korea has been in the news a lot lately for their nuclear missile programs.

As a result, North Korea should be banned from their nuclear missile program due to their continued aggression toward the west that can potentially…

deliver nuclear bombs, to threaten and warn to the Soviet Union that the U.S. is both capable and willing to implement a nuclear bombing attack (U.S. Department of State). However, in 1953, the Canadian government with President Dwight. D. Eisenhower strongly opposed the idea of employing nuclear coercion, and ultimately put an end to the threat.

Nuclear weapons have been around for less than 100 years and yet they are the central focus around war and violence as more and more countries are implementing nuclear weapons in their main military strategies. In 1938, 3 chemists in Berlin discovered the power to construct nuclear weapons when they split the uranium atom (cite). In 1939, physicist Albert Einstein, concerned about the rise of Hitler, sent a letter to President Theodore Roosevelt warning him of this discover and the…

foreign policy was already militant. The creation of the atomic bomb, the 'nuclear arms race ' between the two nations, and with one of the key issues of the Cuban Missile Crisis being the threat of USSR nuclear missiles being launched onto the US from nearby Cuba, prevention of such an attack was of utmost priority. With the combination of these two national interests, military preparation and the prevention of a nuclear war, the US foreign policy held a factor that was key to the US 's…

Iran’s nuclear program was not always seen as a controversial aspect of Iran’s domestic policy. As a matter of fact, the origins of the Iranian program began in the 1950’s with the support of the United States. Research and development of a nuclear program began once Tehran joined Dwight D.

people are technically always in is not worth the risk. Nuclear weapons simply do not make the world a safer place when analyzing the immediate impacts, long-term impacts, and costs of maintaining and then dismantling the timeworn nuclear weapons. It would be simplest if all nuclear weapon states agreed as a planet to dismantle all nuclear arsenals. The Non-Proliferation Treaty is a negotiation where the goal is to ultimately abolish all nuclear weapons. According to one source, five…

These machines begin with a huge cloud of fire and leave behind a mess of destruction. These machines shake the ground and sent light and debris in a shockwave that destroys everything in sight without ever touching the ground. These death machines are called nuclear weapons, and thousands of these weapons exist.…
