Nuclear warfare

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nuclear warfare is when two or more groups or countries fight with nuclear weapons. Many people fear that there will be a large nuclear war soon.

Only two nuclear bombs were ever used in a war. Both bombs fell on Japanese cities. The first on Hiroshima and the second on Nagasaki. The bombings took place near the end of World War II. Back then, the United States was the only country with nuclear weapons. Today, nuclear warfare is likely to involve nuclear weapons on both sides of the war.
