Question

what effect did the dropping of the atomic bomb have after the war?○ it made future wars less likely○ it started the vietnam war○ it ended relations between japan and the allies○ it started a nuclear arms race

Explanation:

• The Vietnam War had unrelated origins (Cold War tensions, French colonial collapse), so it was not caused by the atomic bomb.
• Japan rebuilt allied relations post-WWII, so relations did not end.
• While some argued nuclear deterrence reduced direct great power war, the immediate post-war effect was the U.S. having nuclear weapons prompting other nations (like the USSR) to develop their own, starting a nuclear arms race.
• The claim that it made future wars less likely is not a definitive direct post-war effect compared to the arms race.

Answer:

D. It started a nuclear arms race
