Say, for some reason, that WWII, or at least the Pacific War, lasts a few weeks or months longer, with the American President not wanting to use the bomb to make Japan surrender. Granted, the Japanese were too proud to surrender, but for this scenario, let's say that no bomb was used, and Japan eventually signed an ultimatum.

Now for the question: With the world not truly knowing the horrors that an atomic bomb can do, would it be more likely for nuclear bombs to be used in the Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis or even a WWIII? Just a thought.
