To add to this, the moment nuclear weapons supposedly came into existence there began a silent war to disarm the planet from creating or amassing these weapon themselves while the U.S.A. and Russia simultaneously raced to amass as many as humanly possible in an attempt to take command on a global scale. Since neither nation was able to outpace the other this lead to the Cold War.
Now after 75 years of both industrial and nuclear development we have 2-3 superpowers that command the globe (U.S.A., Russia, and possibly China) with all three being influenced through a combination of usury and political bribery by Israel (though that's another story) but suffice to say the British Empire collapsed the second it decided not to pursue the nuclear arms race.
