The cold war intensified when the USSR tested their bomb in 1949.

The USSR tested its first nuclear weapon in 1949.
The atom bomb testing done in 1949 by the Soviets was one of five or six others done from 1949 to 1955 or 56. The US discovered it when they saw it in their "spying" on Russia. They knew Stalin had achieved his goal to build an atomic bomb and missiles.
(the arms race) The Soviet Union's development of an atomic bomb in 1949 contributed to the beginning of the arms race. Each nation began spending huge amounts of money in an effort to build more powerful weapons than the other side. Each side feared that if the other had more weapons, it would be tempted to attack and destroy the other side.

Albert Einstein did not directly contribute to the development of the atomic bomb. However, his famous equation E=mc^2 laid the theoretical groundwork for understanding the energy released in nuclear reactions, which was crucial for the development of the atomic bomb by scientists like J. Robert Oppenheimer and others involved in the Manhattan Project.

Atomic bomb development jobs for the scientists and engineers.
When Stalin learned about the atomic bomb's development by the United States, he intensified the Soviet nuclear weapons program to ensure the USSR could match U.S. military capabilities. He ordered accelerated research and development efforts, prioritizing the creation of an atomic bomb. This led to the successful test of the Soviet atomic bomb in 1949, which significantly altered the global power balance and initiated the nuclear arms race during the Cold War.
