How did the arms race contribute to the Cuban missile crisis?
The Cuban Missile crisis (in 1962) caused The Soviet Union and the U.S to come very close to a potential Nuclear war. This nuclear war would have destroyed large parts of America and the Soviet Union with an estimated 80 million casualty rate fro the U.S alone. This caused a sudden realisation fro the Leaders of the two super powers as they both could have easily pushed the big red bottom to fire a nuclear warhead at the other side resulting in not only devastation of the Soviet Union and the US but the Bordering countries to these powers. President Kennedy had previously tried to implement a treaty slowing down the arms race by banning types of nuclear tests in the later part of the 1950's. In 1963 the two leaders of the powers signed the 'limited test ban treaty' or the 'nuclear test ban treaty' with the agreement consisting of banning atmospheric, underwater and space testing's. It did not rule out underground testing but it was not to be done if there was direct contact with any living source that would be affected by it. This treaty has now lead onto other treaty's being signed but this was the start of them with the two main nuclear powers both signing it. A lot of testing were still occurring by the U.S after this point as in 1968 there were around 78 tests conducted by the U.S alone. But the manufacturing of nuclear warhead were still growing as the Soviets with figures hovering around 25,000 available from 1960-1979.
