Nuclear Threat

A weapon with such enormous power, like a nuclear bomb, has never been used on people  since 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.   The bomb ushered the close of WWII but also was the catalyst to a new era the Cold War in which both sides stockpiled huge amounts of nuclear weapons in case the other side chose to use the weapons.   When studying North Korea and the possibility of nuclear war we must understand the capability of this weapon and the devastating effects.   This means we will turn to Japan, North Korea's neighbor, to learn what could happen.
