NUCLEAR WEAPONS The Use, Impact, and Future of Nuclear Weapons All across the world, there are many different types of weapons. Everything from small handheld weapons to large remote control bombs. Not all countries have bombs, but the ones who do use them for different purposes. When people think of the word bomb, the first thing that comes to mind is war. Not all bombs are used for war. They are actually used for research, and a lot of people are not aware of that. Bombs in the past compared to

to rapidly improve their development of military weapons and hacking skills. Our ignorance of North Korea 's capabilities has resulted in them becoming a significant threat to global security, especially the U.S. and South Korea, by testing ballistic missiles, nuclear bombs, and invading the computer systems of both countries. Placing North Korea at the center of international attention would prevent them from causing a minor issue to become irreversible damage. To begin with, North Korea 's nuclear

The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the Missile Scare, was a 2 week period in October of 1962 that was a result of increasing tensions amongst the United States and the Soviet Union. Tension between the US and the USSR is not new and is known as the Cold War, often stated to be a period between 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Intelligence gathered over the span of couple months all seemed to lead to the common conclusion that the Soviet’s are installing offensive nuclear

Something is to be said as well of the unconventional uses of aircraft carriers throughout World War Two that may not have survived to the modern day but existed none the less. The first being the use of Japanese carriers to launch suicide missions known as Kamikaze flights. The practice of flying aircraft into ships was likely a last-ditch attempt to salvage the clear loss of the Japanese in the conflict and was rooted in Japanese honour culture. Obviously, there is little strategic value in expending

The true story of the USS Thresher, a lead nuclear submarine, that was lost at sea, becoming the deadliest submarine disaster in history with the loss of 129 lives.

Vladimir Putin’s actions incite economic, military, and political tension within the NATO alliance and set the world stage for Russia to enter the New Cold War. Firstly, Putin’s dwindling respect for the United States of America and Europe - the West - causes him to seek an alternative market for Russia’s economy. Additionally, Putin increases Russia’s military activity inciting tension within NATO and Eurasian countries along its borders. Lastly, Vladimir provocatively drives a “political wedge”

1971, as President Nixon was attempting to convince The Soviet Union to include submarines and ballistic missiles in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), the US Navy was planning on introducing a new class of submarines called the Trident. The Trident submarines were to succeed the Polaris submarines, which was developed in the 1950s. The Trident submarines were not only physically larger than the Polaris submarines, they also possessed revolutionary propulsion components and weaponry. If the

Nuclear arms proved to be the central force behind the fears of a global war during the latter 20th century. However, with the collapse of the USSR, and the legacy of the Cold War leaving the United States as the sole superpower, the tensions of global nuclear war seem to have eased. Despite this, both the United States, and the successor state of its once powerful rival the Soviet Union, still possess in their arsenals the ability to destroy civilization two times over. Russian nuclear capabilities

The Cuban Missile Crisis became the closest the world had ever been to nuclear war, resulting from growing tension in the Cold War between the United States (NATO) and the Soviet Union (Warsaw Pact). Cuba at the time also had ongoing conflict with the United States, after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in attempt to overthrow corrupt government leader Fidel Castro. The Soviet Union and Cuba’s newfound similar plights led to a partnership and the strategic positioning for the Soviet Union to implement

Technologies of the Cold War Technologies played an important role in our lives before and right now. The development of the science and technology promoted the progress of the society. The wide spread of using electricity boosted economy around the world; the invention of the telephone made people’s communication become easier; airplanes make people travel longer distances in shorter times. As same as other time period in the history, during the Cold War, the great inventors from different countries
