- Abstract
This paper contains a brief explanation about the history of nuclear weapon development during the end of the Second World War until the Cold War era between 1940–1968. This paper was constructed using the qualitative historical method. This paper is divided into three sections; (1) introduction, (2) discussion, and (3) conclusion. The introduction explains the importance to understand the history of nuclear weapon development, especially to also understand the dynamics in the technology and socio-politics issues in the present time. The discussion is divided into two parts; (1) the short history of nuclear weapon development and (2) how it affects the world and what can we learn. The writer concluded that four changes were caused by the discovery of nuclear weapons; (1) the change of opinion towards war, (2) the confrontation between superpower countries that shifted into proxy war and competition of power and influence, (3) shaping the modern geopolitical landscape, and (4) nuclear technologies could be applied in a peaceful means.
