(the arms race)

The Soviet Union's development of an atomic bomb in 1949 contributed to the beginning of the arms race. Each nation began spending huge amounts of money in an effort to build more powerful weapons than the other side. Each side feared that if the other had more weapons, it would be tempted to attack and destroy the other side.
