Radar, computers, penicillin and more all came out of development during the Second World War.
One of the most infamous World War II inventions is the atomic bomb. In August 1946, the United States launched its first (and so far, only) nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing an estimated 110,000 to 210,000 people.
While the bomb stands out for its devastating impact, there were many other nonlethal innovations during the war in the fields of medicine and technology that have drastically reshaped the world.
Settlement proposal
The BSA is proposing to pay roughly $220 million toward a trust to compensate tens of thousands of former members who say they were abused as Scouts. An additional $300 million may come from a voluntary contribution from local councils, the Boy Scouts said in court documents filed earlier this month; but the local organizations have given no formal commitment.
The number is a fraction of the $1 billion of the organization s estimated value, and a sliver of the value of its subsidiaries, including local councils as well as various trusts and endowments, which USA TODAY estimates could exceed $3.7 billion.
The proposal is part of a reorganization plan put forth by the iconic nonprofit detailing how it intends to handle the massive child sex abuse case that’s threatening its existence – the largest ever involving a single national organization – and emerge as a viable entity.
