The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.
