Why was the Zhou craftworker's ability to mold metal an important advance in technology?
Metal was used in the making of weapons during the classical civilizations time period. The more advanced the weapons were, the better the chance the Zhou dynasty had of surviving...nomadic invasions occurred frequently.
Was Constantine's rule much longer than Justinian's rule?
Justinian's rule lasted longer than Constantine.
More Americans fought in Korea or Vietnam?
More in Vietnam, only because it lasted longer.
How must Justinian have ensured that his accomplishment lasted longer than they did?
( for all the MTA students) not known
Did the Gupta Empire last from ad 320 to about ad 520?
It lasted a bit longer than that, but it was around that time.
Why does US make nuclear weapons?
The US no longer makes nuclear weapons, it only refurbishes existing ones that are wearing out.
Why the the US no longer test nuclear weapons?
All current nuclear weapons are test by simulation on petaFLOPS supercomputers at the US labs.
What if nuclear weapons had never been developed?
WW2 would have lasted at least a year longer, millions more would have died, and japan would have been partitioned into communist north japan and free south japan.
Is Mexico nuclear capable?
Mexico is capable of producing Nuclear power, it currently only has one power station called Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Station, located in Veracruz. Mexico might be capable of producing nuclear weapons, but they have laws against nuclear weapons, they are not allowed on Mexican soil. If Mexico were to produce nuclear weapons, their friendship with the United States will be ruined, the United States likes controlling Latin-American countries, and if a country such as Mexico has nuclear weapons, they can no longer enslave them.
How did the Korean War impact presidents and their acts?
Presidents (Commander in Chiefs) now knew they could NO LONGER declare TOTAL WARS; in the age of nuclear weapons, wars had to be fought as LIMITED WARS...limited to "non-nuclear weapons." Such as Korea & Vietnam...to stem the tide of communism.
Battle of Trenton lasted how long?
the battle lasted 7- 8 years or longer
Does the us still test nuclear weapons?
No, the us no longer tests nukes.once the Cold War threat ended so did nuke testing and plants that made plutonium stopped production and stopped sending nuclear materials to bomb factories
How did nuclear weapons change history?
Nuclear weapons fundamentally altered the geopolitical landscape by creating a new paradigm of mutually assured destruction (MAD). The threat of massive, indiscriminate destruction led to a heightened focus on diplomacy and disarmament, as the Cold War standoff between the United States and Soviet Union demonstrated. Additionally, the existence of nuclear weapons increased the urgency of non-proliferation efforts, with countries striving to prevent the spread of these weapons to ensure global security.
Plutonium-241 is an isotope of plutonium that is highly radioactive and is used in some nuclear reactors and many nuclear weapons It has a half-life of 14.4 years If 1000g of Pu-241 is placed in sto?
Question incomplete. Pu-241 is formed from Pu-240, the longer the fuel is irradiated in the reactor the more of the higher mass Pu isotopes are formed. This is why to produce weapons grade Pu, which must be mostly Pu-239, the fuel has to be irradiated only for a limited period. Pu-241 is fissile, so could be used in a weapon, but I believe the disadvantage is that it fissions spontaneously which can lower the weapons efficiency. I suggest you (a) complete the question, and (b) put it in the Nuclear Weapons category, possibly also Nuclear Physics, rather than Nuclear Energy which I take to be about civil use of nuclear power.

Total war required a nation to do what?
Total war is all out war; using all weapons available. The Korean War and Vietnam Wars were not total wars; they were LIMITED wars...limited to non-nuclear conventional weapons. Total wars can no longer be fought in this age of atomic weapons, without risking "mutually assured destruction."
Are nuclear weapons necessary for protection?
Some countries don't need nuclear weapons, but some do. If the US had no nuclear weapons, the U.S.S.R. would have crushed all of Europe, and perhaps the US as well. When you are a world power and do not have nuclear weapons, you lack a small but vital "chip" to use as leverage in the "big game" of world "control" or "domination" or just "directing" the course of world policy.
