Thesis Statement
The invention of the nuclear weapon (atomic bomb) was a turning point in history for many things. One specifically is the mark of the Cold War. If it hadn’t had been for the atomic bomb, advances in weaponry wouldn’t be as million of lifes threating as it is now. I believe if the United States hadn’t set forth on inventing the atomic bomb, then World War 2 and the Cold War would not have happened. Due to today’s advances, the atomic bomb would probably be invented sooner or later thus it only slow down the advances in weaponry. Luckily many countries know the dangers of the atomic bomb if anything were to happen.
