Who has the strongest nuclear weapons in the world?
If by strongest you mean highest yield, I believe this would be Russia. Current treaties allow them higher yield weapons because their ICBMs are somewhat less accurate than US ICBMs.
Why were ICBMs created?
ICBMs were developed by both the United States and the Soviet Union during the cold war in insure mutually assured destruction if either country were to be attacked. Basically, the Soviets threatened the United States, and the United States responded by threatening to level Russia with nukes (ICBMs) if they attacked. The Soviets responded likewise, and therefore, not shots were ever fired because both nations feared a nuclear reprisal by the other.

What is the Strategic arms limitation treaty?
This was a treaty between the united states (durring the presidency of Richard Nixon) and the Soviet Union (under Premier Brezniev) which planned to stop the ever increasing number of ICBMs deployed by both nations. This allowed the Soviet Union to come to a parity with the United States and held the United States from expanding their stock pile. The three principla delivery systems affected were long range bombers, Submarines (SLBM), and land based ICBMs. The treaty was signed in the early 1970's.
What development during the 1950s made long-range bombers obsolete?
The development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during the 1950s made long-range bombers obsolete. ICBMs provided a much faster, more direct and accurate means of delivering nuclear weapons to distant targets, making the need for manned long-range bombers less relevant in terms of strategic deterrence.
Where are some located?
I found ICBMs in California on Google earth. I found ICBMs in California on Google earth.

What country launched the first ICBMs?
The Soviet Union was the first country to launch Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). The R-7 Semyorka, also known as the R-7 ICBM, was the first ICBM and was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s.
Where are some rockets located?

How many miles can a nuclear bomb reach?
The range of a nuclear bomb depends on its size and type. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying nuclear warheads can reach distances of up to thousands of miles. Some ICBMs have a range of over 6,000 miles.
Did the intercontinental ballistic missiles able to reach the US?
Yes, foreign ICBMs were perfectly capable of reaching the US, and US ICBMs were just as capable of reaching back.
Was America overreacting when they began nuclear attack awareness?
I do not believe we can know this until the USSR's archives are fully opened to historians, that will probably not happen for some time. However that said it is known that the US nuclear stockpile was significantly larger than the USSR nuclear stockpile until the late 1970s (this was not known by the US at the time) and the US ICBMs have been and still are more accurate than the USSR ICBMs.
Which rockets are built to go into space?
The first successful rockets built to go into space were ICBMs: the Soviet Sputnik I & II were launched on military ICBMs, the US Mercury spacecraft were launched on military ICBMs (Redstone & Atlas), the US Gemini spacecraft were launched on military ICBMs (Titan II). IIRC, the Delta & Saturn rockets were the first successful rockets built to go into space that didn't begin as military ICBMs. Although most Deltas are launched from Vandenberg AFB. The European Arian was the first commercial rocket built to go into space.
How far is a long range missile?
ICBMs can cross continents!
How many pages does The Known World have?
The Known World has 400 pages.
How many ICBMs does the UK have?
The United Kingdom possesses a fleet of four Vanguard-class submarines, each capable of carrying up to 16 Trident II (D5) intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). However, the exact number of operational ICBMs is classified. As of recent assessments, the UK is estimated to have around 225 warheads, with a portion designated for use on these missiles. The UK's nuclear strategy emphasizes a minimum credible deterrent rather than a large arsenal.
Does Russia still have nuclear weapons today?
Actually Russia now has 500 to 1000 more nuclear weapons than the USA due to limits set in the START treaty and they are higher yield, based on the fact that their ICBMs are less accurate than US ICBMs.
