Since WWII and the arms race of the cold war, the US and Russia have been fighting to be the nuclear “superpower” of the world. The question of “arm” (continue testing, building, and deploying nuclear weapons) or “disarm” (reduce nuclear stockpiles) has been a point...
During WWII, the United States developed a program that was going to be designed to harness the power of fission. This project that they created would eventually become known as the Manhattan project, and the product of that project was the creation of the first...
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been active for 70 years. 20 countries donate in order to keep the defense budget going. This defense budget then goes towards many areas such as to the construction of weapons of mass destruction. According to the International Law...
