war , but H-bomb needed many more years of research and development . The work on the H-bomb continued after the war , though at a diminished pace even as the politicians and scientists debated the ethics of building a superweapon that had the potential to destroy not just cities but the entire human civilization . However , in 1949 after Russia tested its first atom bomb , it became imperative for America to have the hydrogen bomb , and the work on it intensified under the directive of President Truman . America produced its first hydrogen bomb in November , 1952
