The modern atomic theory was developed by many scientists‚ such as Neil Bohr‚ Democritus‚ James Chadwick and John Dalton. Each of these intelligent scientists have found different discoveries in their research with the atom. Why has scientific understanding of the atom changed over time? This would be because each scientist has had a different approach and has discovered new understandings from their research.

The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States‚ the Soviet Union‚ and their respective allies during the Cold War. During the Cold War‚ in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles‚ other countries developed nuclear weapons‚ though none engaged in warhead production on nearly the same scale as the two superpowers. The first nuclear weapon was created by the Manhattan Project during the Second World War and was developed to be used
