There were actually many, the Soviet Union, People's Republic of China, United Kindom, I believe France, and the United States. In addition, Israel was also widely believed to have developed or received hydrogen bombs from the United States both now and today.
Nuclear weapons (both Hydrogen & atomic) made total wars unacceptable; it was referred to as MAD during the 1960s. MAD=Mutually Assured Destruction. Therefore...since man couldn't fight total wars anymore; he had to fight limited wars (limited to conventional weapons).
arm race
No nation dropped an atomic weapon during the cold war. The cold war is not the same as World War 2. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan by the US at the end of World War 2. The cold war is called 'cold' because it was not an actual armed conflict. It was a period marked by a conflict of ideologies, propaganda and fear.
During the Cold War (when US want the world to be capitalist while Russia wanted it to be communist) in 1950, US President Harry S. Truman authorized the invention of a bomb stronger than the atomic bomb (A-bomb), which both US and Russia already had in their arsenals, just in case if there would be a World War III when World War II just ended. The US tested its first H-bomb (hydrogen bomb) in 1952, which was thousands of times stronger than the A-bomb, then the Soviet Union (Russia) tested their own H-bomb in 1953.
A-bomb.
The first atomic bomb was engineered in WWII, not the Cold War. The Hydrogen Bomb was a Cold War Weapon.
he invented the hydrogen bomb. His name is a.k.a. " The Father Of The Hydrogen Bomb'
The development of the hydrogen bomb in 1954 escalated tensions during the Cold War by intensifying the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The increased destructive power of the hydrogen bomb raised the stakes in the nuclear arms race, leading to a heightened sense of fear and insecurity in both countries. This development contributed to the already existing climate of distrust and competition between the two superpowers.
The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, President Truman had to make a terrible decision-- whether to develop an even more horrifying weapon- Hydrogen bomb
no!!!!!the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.
Truman ordered the production of a hydrogen bomb as a response to the Soviet Union developing their own atomic bomb. He wanted to ensure that the United States maintained a strategic advantage in nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
H-bomb
Truman authorized the development of the hydrogen bomb to ensure that the United States remained technologically advanced and could deter potential threats during the Cold War. The H-bomb was seen as a more powerful deterrent against the Soviet Union and other adversaries than the atomic bomb.
To Kill People
yes
The hydrogen bomb was tested by the United States at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean during the Cold War. The Soviet Union later conducted its own hydrogen bomb tests in various locations, such as the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan.
The development of the hydrogen bomb greatly escalated the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It increased tensions and spurred both nations to further expand their nuclear arsenals. The creation of this more powerful and destructive weapon deepened the sense of mutual distrust and fear between the two superpowers.
