- 451: The Invention of the Atomic Bomb And Its Use
- The Invention of the Atomic Bomb And Its Use In 1945, the first atomic bomb in the world was dropped on Hiroshima. There is still discussion that the dropping was really necessary or unnecessary.

The reason had very much to do with the World War?. America was the first country that succeeded inventing this weapon, and that invention was epoch-making at that time. In fact, the able doctors in Germany, which was the enemy of the Allied Forces including America, found the principles of the atomic bomb at first, and Nazis made them invent the atomic bomb. Some doctors thought that Nazis would use the weapon in the worst way for the world if they got the weapon for the fist time in the world.

Ogden, 1824 The case of Gibbons vs. Ogden was one of the deciding factors in the creation of a stable commercial system that would propel the United States into its current position as a World Power.

- After World War I, American people and the authors among them were left disillusioned by the effects that war had on their society.
