The cold war intensified when the USSR tested their bomb in 1949.
the Soviet development of the atomic bomb in 1949
Atomic weapons played a major role in fear, but were never actually used in the Cold War. There were multiple instances in which the Soviet Union and United States threatened each other with atomic weapons, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, but overall no Atomic weapons were ever used on enemy countries which is how the Cold War stayed cold.
at the end of the world war (WW2) the atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After WW2 the atomic bomb was further developed and "was used as a silent threat against USSR" until 1949 when they had their own atomic bomb. From that year there was an arms race which played a major part in the Cold War
The Atomic bomb created the cold war. Atomic weapons created the military stand-off. If Atomic weapons never existed there would have been a WWIII with the USSR/Red China...just like WWII, WWI, etc. etc. etc. The ONLY role the past played in the cold war...was creating it (the bomb).
The specific need was the cold war. (The intercontinental racquets was the only solution for the enemies how to hit each other.)
The Atomic Bomb caused the cold war.
