I grinned because they were all in one place, which would make it much easier to slaughter all of them. I burst out…
Nuclear weapons were first used against Japan at the end of the Second World War, with the United States dropping nuclear weapons first on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, and again three days later on Nagasaki. These attacks are the only times nuclear weapons have ever been used directly against another state, with all subsequent detonations serving as either a demonstration of might or for research purposes.
