Abstract

Although most people think nuclear weapons were created after World War II, scientist of Germany and Japan already knew about fusion matter and something with extraordinary power. Germany and Japan, along with other powers, conducted secret projects to create an unknown weapon of mass destruction. The goal of Germany and Japan was to defeat their enemy with one weapon. Still in 1945, when the U.S. conducted its first nuclear test in Alamogordo, New Mexico, world did not know about a weapon with brutal force. Only after the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on Japan’s cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the world stunned by the power of nuclear weapons. However, at that time, powers were not scared of nuclear weapons; some of them saw it as a guarantor of their security, and others saw it as an opportunity to strengthen their power and position on the world stage.
This paper covers topics such as the history of creation of the nuclear bomb, its role in international relations and international security, world powers’rivalry to gain nuclear technology and the arms race, and how nuclear weapons have shaped world politics.
