Nuclear arms race.
1939 to 1989 The race began between Nazi Germany and England in 1939. The USSR began spying on the work in England. Nazi Germany quietly withdrew about 1942 as the US entered and took over the work from England. The US completed the first atomic bombs in 1945. The USSR completed their first atomic bomb using info from their spies in 1949. The nuclear arms race between the US and USSR officially ended in 1989.

The arms race
Generally the West is considered the victor of the cold war. The arms race between the US and the USSR basically bankrupted the USSR and led to its downfall.
The treaty slowed the arms race between the USSR and the US.
It was in the middle of the Cold War. This is describing the "race" between Russia (USSR) and the United States and both of their atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Arms Race = A race between to nations to produce the most weapons and the most powerful weapons. Ex) The cold war.. the USSR and the USA. And im guessing the US goal was to get more weapons than the USSR?

Far more bombs and missiles than either the US or USSR needed. Miniaturized inexpensive electronics.

The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.
