Answer:

The United States developed and used the first nuke in WW2

Step-by-step explanation:

America dropped the bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some people say it was inhumane to decimate entire cities in a war. However, America would not have entered the war in the first place if they were not provoked by the unjustified obliteration of a US Navy fleet and base that occurred a few years prior at Pearl Harbor. The nuclear bombs created an instant submission of the opposing forces and helped bring an end to WW2. This did, however, lead to the cold war era between the world superpowers.
