319. What is the Nuclear Taboo?: 2024 Nobel Peace Prize Explained! (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Nihon Hidankyo, an organisation formed by survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to raise awareness and create the nuclear taboo.
Today, I want to talk about the nuclear taboo and other theories that try to explain why nuclear weapons have not been used since 1945!
Let’s learn about international relations and learn some vocabulary at the same time.
