Armis nuclearibus incensis fit reactio catenata, qua tanta vis caloris, pressionis et radiationis solvitur, ut haec arma brevissime totas urbes incendio absumere et maximas hominum multitudines interficere possint. Superstites vero radiis displodendo solutis obnoxii morbo radioso, qui dicitur, afficiantur et graviter laedantur. Pluvia nuclearis latas regiones radioactivitate contaminet, quo fieri possit, ut pro quodam temporis spatio aut in perpetuum fiant inhabitabiles.
Nuclearia arma inventa necessario immutaverunt bella gerenda. Postquam enim Civitates Foederatae Americae primas bombas atomicas confecerunt, die 16 Iulii anno 1945 primo proficienter probaverunt, diebus autem 6 et 9 Augusti eiusdem anni in Iaponicis urbibus Hirosimae et Nagasacii funditus evertendis plura centena milia hominum interfecerunt, ea arma nullis iam in bellis adhibita sunt. Cum autem etiam Unio Sovietica anno 1949 arma nuclearia confecisset, bellum frigidum, quod dicitur, ortum est et in armis conficiendis certamen inter Civitates Foederatas Americae et Unionem Sovieticam eo pervenit, ut hae civitates aliquando 70 000 globos nucleares possederint.[1] Plurimi putant metum mutuo oblatum illo tempore prohibuisse, quin bellum manifestum inter utramque civitatem nasceretur. Paulatim vero et aliae civitates arma nuclearia fabricaverunt. Usque ad hos dies novem civitates arma nuclearia adeptae sunt: Civitates Foederatae Americae, Russia, Britannia Maior, Francia, Res publica popularis Sinarum, Israel, India, Pakistania, Corea Septentrionalis.
