    The word ‘aftermath’ means ‘the period that follows an unpleasant event or accident, and the effects that it causes.’ Fierce- showing strong feeling or energetic activity. Precarious- not securely held or in position; dangerously likely to fall or collapse. Insolvent- not having enough money to pay debts, buy goods, etc. The aftermath of the nuclear attack is still visible in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
