Scenarios about 'atomic weapons'
Atomic weapons are explosive devices that derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions, first developed during World War II and used against Japan in 1945. These weapons fundamentally altered international relations, military strategy, and global security through their unprecedented destructive capacity, radiation effects, and potential for mass casualties. In alternate history scenarios, different development timelines, proliferation patterns, or usage of atomic weapons often serve as critical divergence points that reshape geopolitical landscapes.
