2) second question, well honestly cold war beginnings started a few years earlier, but many people credit the abombs and denial of any japanese territory as the first major stepping stone to the cold war. Russia was working on its own atmoic warheads. You can see how the arms race started here, and dramatically increased in tension from this point on. |
1) Are you seriously suggesting that people who actually build these bombs were unaware of possible effects, such as radiation? Assuming this is either complete blindness or, simply put, stupid. Sorry, I have nothing more to say.
2) That's wasn't my issue with your statement.
