Arms Race

Competition 1. Arms Race- Cold War competition between U.S. and Soviet Union to develop the most powerful weapons

Nuclear Bombs U.S. detonated their first Atom bomb in 1945, Soviet Union in 1949 Both countries begin developing bigger, better nukes

Hydrogen Bombs Hydrogen bomb is 1000x more powerful than an Atom bomb U.S. detonates first H-Bomb in 1952, Soviet Union 1953

Missiles Launch of Sputnik (Soviet space satellite) led to fear of ICBMs Inter-Continental ballistic missiles Able to travel from one continent to another

Fear! People prepare for nuclear war Brinkmanship- the act of moving closer to the brink of war without actually going to war MAD Mutually Assured Destruction Theory that we would wipe each other out At the end of the 1950’s, American Intelligence estimated that in a Russian missile attack, 20 million Americans would die and 22 million would be injured.
