By 1949, America’s nuclear monopoly shattered when the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb—fueled by a deadly network of Western spies. As the Cold War intensified, proxy conflict erupted in Korea, drawing UN, Chinese, and covert Soviet forces into a brutal struggle. Back home, paranoia fueled McCarthyism, while scientists unleashed the Hydrogen Bomb, locking the world in an era of Mutually Assured Destruction. From secret spy trials to the shootdown of a U2 reconnaissance aircraft, explore how close humanity came to total annihilation.

筋道道理を通し、細かい所迄突き詰めれば、日本が何をしたかが全て判る。
原爆は、長い戦争を終わらせる為に、アメリカが示した最終手段。
アメリカは悪くない。
寧ろ、日本を良く止めた。
勝ちに固執し、国民を犠牲にしたのは天皇と日本政府。
原爆投下で被害国と被害者面。
日本の奇襲で先に犠牲に成ったアメリカの兵士や民間人の事は棚に上げ、自国の悲惨さに擦り替える。
私は日本人だが、日本の愚行の歴史を見てくれば、先に手を出したのは日本。
満州事変から始まり、日中戦争を介して太平洋戦争迄起こしたのは日本。
挙句の果てに、勝ちに固執した為、此れを終わらせ様としたアメリカに原爆を落とさせた。
日本の非を忘れてはならない。
日本の過去の愚行を忘れてはならない。
…済まなかった…アメリカの全ての人達よ…
If you trace history back to its origins, the root cause lies with Japan.
If you follow the logic and examine the details closely, the full picture of Japan's actions becomes clear.
The atomic bomb was the final measure America took to bring a long war to an end.
America was not at fault.
In fact, they did the right thing by stopping Japan.
It was the Emperor and the Japanese government who were obsessed with victory and sacrificed their own people.
Yet, after the bombing, Japan played the victim.
They glossed over the American soldiers and civilians who had been the initial victims of Japan's surprise attacks, shifting the narrative instead to their own country's suffering.
I am Japanese, but looking at the history of Japan's folly, it was Japan that struck first.
It was Japan that started the Manchuria Incident, escalated it into the Second Sino-Japanese War, and ultimately triggered the Pacific War.
In the end, their obsession with victory drove America—which was trying to end the conflict—to drop the atomic bomb.
We must not forget Japan's wrongdoing.
We must not forget the foolish actions of Japan's past.
…I am so sorry… to all the people of America…
