By the end of wwii many believed it to be a deterrent for nations and even the possibility of another war. However when the US intelligiance learned the Soviet Union tested a nuclear bomb America’s views of the atomic bomb were split. Many believed they were going to cause the nuclear apocalypse or they were peace keepers for the world
