At the dawn of the nuclear age, the United States hoped to maintain a monopoly on its new weapon, but the secrets and the technology for building the atomic bomb soon spread. The United States conducted its first nuclear test explosion in July 1945 and dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945. Just four years later, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test explosion. The United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964) followed. Seeking to prevent the nuclear weapon ranks from expanding further, the United States and other like-minded countries negotiated the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968 and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996.
India, Israel, and Pakistan never signed the NPT and possess nuclear arsenals. Iraq initiated a secret nuclear program under Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Persian Gulf War. North Korea announced its withdrawal from the NPT in January 2003 and has successfully tested advanced nuclear devices since that time. Iran and Libya have pursued secret nuclear activities in violation of the treaty’s terms, and Syria is suspected of having done the same. Still, nuclear nonproliferation successes outnumber failures, and dire decades-old forecasts that the world would soon be home to dozens of nuclear-armed have not come to pass.
As what the map shows, one of the geographical features of West Africa is the Sahara Desert. Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world. Camel caravans are important innovation in trade in West Africa because camels are the only animals that can withstand the hot temperature of the desert while carrying goods, and without food and water. The fat in the camels' humps gave them the energy to walk the desert even without food and water. The camel caravans made the West - North Africa trade possible, establishing trade routes across the hot desert.

Oklahoma lands have always provided a combination of nutritious grasses and productive grain farms to the cattle industry. In the late 1880s, the open range reached to an end. Ranchers began to build closed-range ranches in Oklahoma since more railroads had made long cattle drives less necessary (Option B is the correct answer). Not only did the railroads allow the transport of cattle, but also it brought homesteaders and sheepherders to the plains. Besides, those homesteaders plowed up the prairie and enclosed the plains with barbed wire. At the same time, cattle ranchers started to fence huge tracts for their own use. As a result, conflicts between ranchers and homesteaders over land and water rights began to arise.
