The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States, the Soviet Union, and their respective allies during the Cold War. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, and continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, the issues of proliferation and possible use for terrorism still remain in the early 21st century.

During World War 2, we had invented Nuclear arms. The main point was to threaten people who were trying to kill us. We only had two atomic bombs when we threatened Japan, but they did not know that so, after we bombed Hiroshima, they did not know if we had one more left or a thousand. Now that Iran is in the process of making a nuclear bomb, we are all scared that they could use it in a horrifying way.

As of today, we have nuclear arms, for defense, and we are the only ones who have used a nuclear weapon on Another Country.
