DESCRIPTION

I created this poster originally for the Department of Defense. It shows at a glance the development of nuclear weapons in relation to world events, wars, and leaders from 1940 to present day. There is an interesting relationship between global wars, leaders, and the effort to come to terms with weapons development.
