5/8/2015:
So far, I have discovered many important dates relating to the inventions of the first nuclear weapons, as well as the dates of many treaties put in place to thwart the proliferation of nuclear weapons (July 16, 1945 - "Manhattan Project" tested; 1963 -Limited-Test Ban Treaty enacted; July 1,1968 - "NPT", or Non-Proliferation Treaty enacted). Also, I have found records of the countries who withdrew of the NPT, and evidence stating the illegal development of nuclear weapons in countries that were not signed on to the treaty. Currently I am looking to find out accounts of peoples' opinions on the matter of nuclear weapons and their development, and whether the choice to make them was truly ethical and, in their opinions, even a good idea to begin with.
