WW2 ended with the nuclear attack on Japan. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered the consciences of the nuclear bomb. With the United States using these powerful weapons, Russia begun research on the nuclear bomb and in a period of time, they got their nuclear bomb ready. The nations in power were in the "who got the most powerful bomb" race.

The nuclear arms race was central to the Cold War. Many feared where the Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were. Both America and Russia massively built up their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

The world greatly changed when USA exploded the H-bomb in 1952. This one bomb was smaller in size than the Hiroshima atomic bomb but 2500 times more powerful. The Russians produced an H-bomb in 1953 and the world became a much more dangerous place.
