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
