1949 when the USSR tested their first atomic bomb.
The development and deployment of nuclear weapons in 1949 marked a significant shift in global security dynamics. It led to the start of the nuclear arms race and heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The possession of nuclear weapons also brought immense destructive power, raising concerns about the potential for global annihilation and the need for arms control agreements. Overall, it fundamentally altered the calculus of warfare and international relations.
The cold war was about nuclear weapons; without nukes, there would have been no cold war. Only the US had nukes prior to 1949; the US was the most powerful nation on earth...in 1949 the Soviets (Russians) tested their first nuke. They had the "bomb" now. The power had shifted.

Because of "Mutually Assured Destruction." Both sides are armed with nuclear weapons. That has never happened before; starting in 1949.

None. Israel is often assumed to have nuclear weapons targeting Saudi Arabia, but this seems unlikely given that Saudi Arabia has not actively attacked Israel since 1949. If Iran had nuclear weapons, they would certainly be aimed towards Saudi Arabia due to their cold-war-type religious quarrel.

At least three major events shaped history between 1929 and 1949. The first was the Great Depression. The second was the Second World War. The third was the Communist takeover of China.
The U.S. is first to have nuclear weapons, having nukes since 1945. The Soviet Union followed the U.S. by developing and testing their first nuke in 1949. Both nation started making hydrogen bombs (nukes using nuclear fission to explode) starting in the mid-1950s. Excuse me replying with a question, but were the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 Nuclear weapons ? I am assuming they were, but do not know of the differentiation.
On August 29, 1949, the first nuclear test was performed by the USSR.
