No, the first Nuclear Weapons were created near the end of WWII as a way to defeat Japan without to great a loss to the USA's Armed Forces.
The USA and Japan
I believe it was right, yet unright, to use the atomic bomb in World War 2. On one hand, it quickly stopped the war, we would not have to involve ourselves in a bloody invasion of the home islands, and it made the U.S.A. look stronger. But on the other, there have been almost 500,000 deaths because of it, there have been uprisings of revisionists, and we could have waited to see if the invasion of the Soviets two days later would have been successful. I currently have no solid opinion as to whether the atomic bombing was the right decision or not. _____________________________________________________________________ I believe it was right. This is because if we did not use the atomic bomb, and Japan invaded us (the USA) is was estimated that 500,000 to 1,000,000 American people would have been killed. When the USA bombed Japan only 65,000 to 200,000 died. Some might say we should have shown Japan the bomb, but that would have been too risky. It cost the USA about 2 million dollars to make the atomic bombs, why should they waste the money to show Japan what will happen if they don't surrender? They might not surrender anyway! Also, after they saw our bomb, Japan could have made an even bigger one. I am not tring to purswade anyone's opinion, these are just the facts i have gathered.
The Japanese Lost 4 aircraft carriers, along with their pilots at the Battle of Midway. The USA lost one aircraft carrier. Midway is considered the beginning of the end of the war for Japan and the start of their road to defeat.
