The Soviet Union and the United States reduced nuclear arms primarily through a series of treaties aimed at arms control, including the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I and II) in the 1970s, which sought to limit the number of nuclear weapons and delivery systems. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) in 1987 eliminated an entire class of nuclear missiles. Additionally, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) in 1991 further reduced the number of strategic nuclear warheads. These agreements were part of broader diplomatic efforts to ease Cold War tensions and promote global security.

'Arms race' was the 'race' between America and Soviet Russia to develop as many nuclear weapons as possible.
The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States, the Soviet Union, and their respective allies during the Cold War. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, and continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, the issues of proliferation and possible use for terrorism still remain in the early 21st century.
