Answer

The USA and the the Soviet Union emerged as the two super powers of the world after the Second World War. But ideological differences and suspicion of each other led to Cold War between them. Shortly after the war, the Soviet Union developed their own atomic bomb triggering a nuclear arms race with both countries developing even more powerful nuclear weapons than those used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Since then, other nations namely the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea have developed nuclear weapons.
Thus, we can say that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan by the United States of America during the Second World War heralded an era of Nuclear Warfare.
