How did nuclear warfare affect the cold war?
The nuclear arms race was the core of the cold war.
Nuclear weapons WERE the cold war. No Nukes, No Cold War.
The nuclear weapons of the cold war still exist. They were in responsible controlled hands during the cold war (which is why there wasn't a war). The problem: Keeping them out of un-controlled hands.
The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 hastened the end of World War II by compelling Japan to surrender unconditionally. The devastating power of the bombs demonstrated the catastrophic potential of nuclear warfare, leading to Japan's capitulation on August 15, 1945. This decision ultimately altered the dynamics of warfare and international relations, marking the beginning of the nuclear age and influencing post-war geopolitical tensions, particularly during the Cold War.
Ideological differences did not cause the cold war. Nuclear Weapons caused the cold war.
The nuclear arms race was the core of the cold war.
the cold war affected everyone greatly due to the large threat of nuclear warfare
The reverse (opposite) of cold war was total war (nuclear war). Youth lived life as if there was no tomorrow; as total war (nuclear war) is (or can be) "mutually assured destruction."
The Cold War had the potential to severely impact the earth through the effects of expolding hundreds of nuclear weapons if it ever became a hot war. But as the Cold War did not result in a nuclear confrontation, it had esseentially no impact on the earth.

There was no "front" in the Cold War.
nuclear warfare
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.
