Descripción
Sumario:While it is true that the drop of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively, on the 6th and the 9th of August in 1945, the immediate surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War —the most devastating war conflict in the history of humanity—, the world was immediately caught between uncertainty and fear as a result of the beginning of the atomic age. Given its historical significance, in this article we will give account not only of the process of manufacturing the atomic bomb within the framework of the Manhattan Project and its drop on these two Japanese cities, but of the great challenge of reaching an agreement to preserve atomic control in a difficult international scenario that would soon lead to the Cold War.
