The U.S. policy of deterrence, primarily during the Cold War, aimed to prevent aggression by maintaining a credible threat of substantial retaliation against adversaries, particularly the Soviet Union. This strategy relied on nuclear capabilities and military readiness to dissuade hostile actions, fostering a tense but stable geopolitical environment. Ultimately, deterrence contributed to the avoidance of direct military conflict between superpowers, although it also led to an arms race and heightened global tensions.
