Every Country That Tried To Get Nuclear Weapons & Who Could Get Them Next Debunking History Myths and Misconceptions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm-EYH5Vxlg Many countries have attempted to create nuclear weapons but weren't successful. This video explains every one of their nuclear programs with the story of what steps were made and why they weren't successful. Some were due to internal problems like lack of resources or government changes, others were due to outside pressure from other countries including military attacks and sabotage. This video will also assess how capable each country is of obtaining an atom bomb if they wanted to and the countries believed to be currently trying. These videos take a significant amount of work to create, everything is done by me without any team or employees which currently limits the quantity of uploads.
