History

Answer:

The uranium "Little Boy" bomb, minus its nuclear components, arrived at the island of Tinian aboard the U.S.S Indianapolis on July 26, followed shortly by the final nuclear components of the bomb, delivered by five C-54 cargo planes.  On July 26, word arrived at Potsdam that Winston Churchill had been defeated in his bid for reelection.  Within hours, Truman, Stalin, and Clement Attlee (the new British prime minister, below) issued their warning to Japan: surrender or suffer "prompt and utter destruction."  As had been the case with Stalin, no specific mention of the atomic bomb was made. Anti-war sentiment was growing among Japanese civilian leaders, but no peace could be made without the consent of the military leaders.  They still retained hope for a negotiated peace where they would be able to keep at least some of their conquests or at least avoid American occupation of the homeland.  On July 29, 1945, the Japanese rejected the Potsdam Declaration.

• Why were nuclear weapons important during the Cold War?
cricket20 [7]
Off the top of my head:

The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.

You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.

Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.

By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.

There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.

The Mongols were terrifying warriors. Yet merchants leading caravans like this welcomed their conquest of Central Asia and China
Eddi Din [679]

The Mongols were terrifying warriors. However merchants leading caravans  welcomed their conquest of Central Asia and China because they had a more favorable attitude toward merchants and commerce.

 

   This was as a result of  their nomadic way of life, which is much reliant on trade with sedentary peoples, and had caused them to recognize the importance of trade from the very earliest times.

One of the major reasons behind the Mongol conquest was due to the spoils of war. As their army grew, Genghis Khan and his son continued conquering and capturing cities in other to provide for the ever growing population.

<h3>Who were the Mongols?</h3>

The Mongols were citizens of Mongol empire, which was founded by Genghis Khan in 1206.

  This empire Originated from the Mongol heartland in present day Mongolia, central Asia, and by the late 13th century it had stretched from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Danube River and the shores of the Persian Gulf in the west.
