The direct outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war was in favor of Israel where not only did Israel could expand her territories but the Jews also fended off the invading Arabs although most of the residents of Palestine had to flee at first.
Explanation:
The Arabs wanted to take complete control and were against any sort of Jewish settlements, especially in Palestine.
After the Jewish buses were ambushed, the war erupted quickly and became a civil war where both the Arabs and Jews fought against each other.
After Israel was declared independent, more lands were added which led to its expansion and the signing of the armistice by the Arabs for peace to reign in the area once again.

I don't think dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was either necessary or acceptable. Japan was already weakened by the war and it was obvious that it wouldn't be able to fight much more. That's why America had other options to choose from in order to end the war other than the atomic bomb. However, I don't think their dropping the atomic bomb had much to do with Japan - it was just a demonstration of the US power and a threat to other countries in the world not to mess with it - Japan just happened to be the guinea pig. The atomic bomb led to the deaths of more than 200,000 people in Japan, and to dire consequences in Hiroshima and Nagasaki which can be still felt today, over 70 years since the bombing happened.
