During the arms race, all of the superpowers were focused on gaining more weapons instead of attacking one another.
Both involved rocketry using science captured from the defeated Nazi regime, and the space race was a way for the two superpowers to one-up each other in the eyes of the world. It may also be thought of as a show of force, as space flights were often launched with the same boosters used for nuclear warheads.
There has never been an arms race between the United States. Regarding arms races between the USA and other countries, the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the Pilgrim landing at Plymouth Rock, the American Civil War, and the discovery of helium in the sun were not effects of any of those.
the two countries involved in the arms and the space race were the USSR (or United Soviet Socialist Republic) and the USA (united states of America). the space race and amrs race were only two facets of the geopolitical struggle between the two, called the cold war.
It was a 'race' between the two superpowers during the cold war era, USA and the USSR. Both countries can claim different victories, USSR sending the first man into space, who made one complete orbit of the earth. The USA were the first to land a man on the moon in June 1969.
The main achievement of the United States space program is the lunar landing on the moon. The main achievement of the USSR is putting the 1st space capsule into orbit.
The arms race was an important part of the Cold War between America and Russia. The war led both countries to produce a stockpile of nuclear weapons which resulted in a great fear. Years later in 1986 the Reykjavik meeting took place between President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, leader of the Soviet Union. This meeting was the start of peace and the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

No.
'Arms race' was the 'race' between America and Soviet Russia to develop as many nuclear weapons as possible.
Both countries felt that they were safe from attack if they were powerful enough to destroy the other.
