Destruction Full Speech Work - Albert Einstein The Menace Of Mass

It seems to me that the situation is similar to that which confronted the nations after the first World War. At that time, the League of Nations was established to prevent future wars. We now know that it failed in this objective.

In this new era of human history, the destructive potentialities of human hand have been growing steadily. The atomic bombs that have been used are but the beginning.

In this speech, delivered on August 11, 1945, just days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Albert Einstein warns of the dangers of mass destruction and the devastating consequences of nuclear warfare. The speech is a powerful call to action, urging world leaders to work towards disarmament and the establishment of a supranational organization to regulate the use of atomic energy.

We are told that the United States has already spent more than two billion dollars on the development of the new weapon. The European Allies have contributed very little to this vast amount.
