I'm sure you're reffering to the cold war. Nuclear war was avoided becasue both sides have nuclear weapons. Knowing if one side uses the other side will fire back neither side decided to use. In theory nuclear weapons may have saved more lives than have been killed. If it weren't for nuclear weapons we most likely would have seen bloodshed between the West and the USSR during the cold war.
