How was the policy of deterrence meant to prevent nuclear war?

The policy of deterrence was designed to prevent nuclear war by ensuring that any nuclear attack would result in devastating retaliation, thereby discouraging any nation from initiating conflict. This was primarily achieved through the concept of mutually assured destruction (MAD), where both sides in a conflict possessed enough nuclear weapons to destroy each other. By maintaining a credible threat of overwhelming retaliation, deterrence aimed to create a stable balance of power and encourage diplomatic resolutions over military confrontation. Ultimately, the fear of catastrophic consequences was intended to keep nations from engaging in nuclear warfare.


How didn't nuclear weapons prevent war?

Nuclear weapons only serve as a deterrent to war when both warring nations possess them. If only one nation has them or neither do, a conventional war is still very possible. That is why all of the Cold War wars occurred in third world countries where nuclear weapons were not present. In contrast, the Cuban Missile Crisis (and the corresponding Turkish Missile Issue) did not lead to war between the USA and the USSR specifically because both nations had nuclear weapons which could effectively serve as a deterrent to the other.
