The arms race during the Cold War saw global military expenditures reaching staggering levels, with estimates suggesting that the U.S. alone spent approximately $8 trillion on nuclear weapons and military capabilities from the late 1940s through the early 1990s. When accounting for spending by the Soviet Union and other nations, total costs could exceed $12 trillion. This immense financial commitment had significant impacts on national budgets and economies, often diverting resources from social programs and infrastructure.
