The nuclear arms race is sen as a metaphor, and can only be won when one country or power will control the power of the people, due to nuclear weapons.
No arms race is ever won; they either result in an actual war (which might be won or lost) or a stalemate of some kind and disarmament.

The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.
The end of everything.
