Question

How did the atomic bomb and Korea influence the post-World War II world?

Answer 1

The release of two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945 helped end World War II but ushered in the Cold War, a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union that dragged on nearly half a century.

In the United States, the use of the bombs was widely praised by a public tired of war and high casualties. America heaved a huge sigh of relief that the blasts ended the need to shift hundreds of thousands of troops who had survived Europe to fight yet another bloody war on Japanese soil.\

Answer 2

Answer: Setting the stage for the Cold War

Explanation:

The atomic bomb and Korea set the stage for the Cold War after World War II.

The atomic bomb sent a message to the world that the most admired and most powerful nation, the USA, believed that nuclear weapons were legitimate instruments of war and could be used again.

Right after WWII, the Korean peninsula was split into two countries. Korea set a conflict between the communists and the West. Korea played this role most clearly in the Korean War that lasted from 1950 until 1953.
