    Throughout the entire history, people have developed the weapons gradually. The basic weapons are sword, spear, or bow. After the invention of gunpowder, people started to use guns or bombs to kill other individuals more efficiently. However, those things were toys compared to Atomic bomb. Seventy thousands to ninety thousands of people died instantly, immeasurably many people are still suffering due to the radiation. (MAGNUM Photos) Atomic bomb’s technology is the most dreadful technology among people’s inventions.

    This is how powerful an Atomic bomb was.

    • a Japanese city with a population of about 300,000. The force of the atomic blast was greater than 20,000 tons of TNT. According to U.S. statistics, 60,000-70,000 people were killed by the bomb. Other statistics show that 10,000 others were never found, and more than 70,000 were injured. Nearly two-thirds of the city was destroyed.
      • This shows how powerful the Atomic bomb was. Instant kill of 60,000 to 70,000 with a bomb is quite a lot.

  • -Instant death of A-bomb on Hiroshima outnumbers gradual death because of radiation. - Atomic bomb's danger is carved in people's mind, as a result, it was used for the best containment weapon in cold war, even though it was used only once in real warfare.

    -Despite the 67 years of time, the aftermath of atomic bomb still remains in form of mutation.

    -Because Harry Truman saw atomic bomb's dreadful power, Harry Truman disagreed on General McArthur's opinion to drop Atomic bombs on Chinese major cities during Korean war.

    - Peacekeepers wants that there should be no nuclear bomb.

    Because they know how dangerous nuclear weapon is, they tries not to let other countries to make nuclear bomb...
    Even if it's assassination...

    This is basically talks about the daylight assassination of scientist working on science system. Lots of nations around are assuming it as it's Israel's planned assassination.

    "Mossad Training Terrorists to Kill Iran's Nuclear Scientists, U.S. Officials Claim... but Is Israel's Real Target Obama?" Mail Online. Web. 22 Feb. 2012. <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099142/Mossad-training-terrorists-kill-Irans nuclear-scientists-U-S-officials-claim--Israels-real-target-Obama.html>.

    • U.S. officials confirmed today that Israel has been funding and training Iranian dissidents to assassinate nuclear scientists involved in Iran's nuclear program. 

      The claim has already been levelled by the Iranian government who believed that Mossad, Israel's secret service, have been arming dissidents with the terrorist organisation the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK).

      Last month Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, a chemistry expert, was killed in a brazen daylight  assassination when two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic  bomb to his car in Tehran.

    In addition when people are discussing about nuclear issues, North Korean issues should not be omitted. North Korea has been familiar to nuclear-related issues, since 2002, regarding high infamy in the nuclear issues, due to the violation of international treaties such as NPT, or treaties of 1994. Since North Koreans already had some events such as selling the long-range missile to Iran, Libya, Syria, and Yemen, the entire nations had to be sensitive toward North Korea’s development of nuclear warhead

    - This is what I liked put in the essay.

    However, the entire text talks about the North Korean political interaction with South Korea, Japan, and US.

    In last 50 years, North Korea ruled by Kim dynasty broke the world's treatment long times ago.

    Some American senates even expected Korean peninsula to be united in 5 years in 1994, however, the reunion is not taking place until now, which would be about 20 years.

    The entire world is sensitive on North Korean development of Nukes, because North Korea is hard wired with other "Axises"

    Drops of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not only a harsh military damage on Japanese forces, but it was also a trigger of the commencing nuclear arm race and new era called Atomic era. The invention of nuclear weapon and proven efficiency of nuclear weapon is the tipping point of the Modern World History, since it has changed the entire warfare in History to actual warfare to cold wars which has a lot of containments. Also, the significance of the invention of nuclear weapon is the fact that it is still developing and still used in current warfare of containments by nations such as North Korea, or Iran.
