The pain of what happened in Hiroshima 80 years ago is still fresh, and that attack serves as a warning to the world, not just a historical event, highlighting how a single mistake can lead to global devastation. This is especially significant in today’s world, where tensions between some countries are escalating, leading to concerns about a potential Third World War. If such a conflict were to erupt, several nations could resort to nuclear war against their adversaries.
During World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Three days later, on August 9, a nuclear attack was launched on Nagasaki. Fortunately, no country has used nuclear weapons since then. However, given current circumstances, there are growing fears of a Third World War. The likelihood of conflict is particularly high between the United States and Russia, South Korea and North Korea, and the United States and China. A survey conducted by YouGov explored the public’s views on the possibility of nuclear war in Europe.
