Nuclear warfare has been considered the worst invention ever created by mankind. While most choose to look on the negative side of nuclear warfare, there are those that look on the positive side.

Early weapons models, such as the "Fat Man" bomb, ...The neutron or enhanced radiation bomb is a small hydrogen bomb that has comparably high radiation but a relatively low blast; it is designed to kill persons by a brief neutron radiation wave that leaves surrounding structures intact. Despite the potential destruction that could be caused by nuclear weapons, testing and owning them could bring peace to the world.
The first ever-recorded use of nuclear warfare was a test explosion in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16th, 1945.
