Nuclear bombs are one of the most destructive weapons ever created. These bombs use nuclear reactions to release an enormous amount of energy in the form of an explosion. Nuclear bombs can cause widespread destruction and can even lead to long-term health problems for people who are exposed to them.

Although most people consider nuclear weapons (nukes) as just the exact same big bomb, they are actually much more than that.

The Cold War was a tense 44 years lasting between 1947, the end of World War 2, to 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union over being the best at anything, ranging from gaining control over Berlin to being the best at space travel, but the biggest tension was over the spread of communism.
