The H-Bomb was first discovered by American scientist named Robert Oppenheimer. The bomb started off as a secret called the manhattan project and not even the president knew about it. The president first found out during World War two. We the united States dropped it on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The first was called "little man"dropped on hiroshima and second was called "fat man" dropped on Nagasaki. This was a huge success for Americas weaponary and technology. It was also a disater becuase the bombs killed a lot of innocent Japanese but to make a gain you have to take some loss so it wasnt easy to drop it. This is a tension of the cold war becuase U.S had a little advantage with the bomb over U.S.S.R. The Soviets havent made a nuclear weapon like the United States did at that time so it put the pressure on the Soviets to make a better bomb becuase Truman gave the go ahead to start the building and designing of more nuclear bombs.
