The '''hydrogen bomb''' (H-Bomb), is far more powerful and deadly than the [[atomic bomb]] that was dropped on [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]] to end [[World War II]]. In 1950, President [[Harry Truman]] started a program to develop the H-Bomb.   
    
Developed first by the [[United States of America]], the viability of the H-bomb was proven with a massive detonation in 1952 by the USA on an [[atoll]] of the [[Marshall Islands]] in the [[Pacific Ocean]].  The H-bomb consists of the release of massive energy when hydrogen atoms are fused together at very high temperature and pressure to form helium nuclei.  The scientists instrumental in its development were the Hungarian immigrant [[Edward Teller]] and Polish immigrant [[Stanislaw Ulam]].  In 1956, the United States successfully detonated an H-bomb after being dropped from a military aircraft.
