How did deterrence contribute to the arms race?

Deterrence contributed to the arms race by encouraging nations to build up their military capabilities to prevent adversaries from gaining an advantage. The fear of being outmatched led countries to stockpile weapons and develop advanced technologies, as they believed that possessing a formidable arsenal would discourage potential attacks. This cycle of escalation fostered an environment of mistrust and competition, with each side feeling compelled to enhance its military strength to maintain a balance of power. Consequently, deterrence became a driving force behind the continuous expansion of nuclear and conventional arsenals during the Cold War and beyond.


What did Rosie the Riveter have to do with home front in World War 2?

Rosie the Riveter, (a name used to describe every woman working in a factory in WWII), built the tanks, ships, planes, and other weapons used by the men to kill the Germans, Italians, and Japanese on the battlefield. Without the weapons built by the women, the men would have had to fight the Axis with their bare hands, or men who could serve in the Armed Forces, would have had to stay back in the USA and build the weapons used.
