What were aw bombs?

AW bombs, or atomic weapons, refer to explosive devices that derive their destructive power from nuclear reactions, either fission (splitting atomic nuclei) or fusion (combining atomic nuclei). They were developed during World War II, with the first successful tests occurring in 1945. The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked a significant turning point in warfare, leading to widespread devastation and loss of life, as well as ushering in the nuclear age. Their existence has since prompted ongoing debates about ethics, deterrence, and global security.
