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

What Was and Is The Arms Race? The arms race was throughout the cold war, which lasted about 45 years. During this time, The United States of America (USA) and The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were both creating and stockpiling military weapons to use against each other. The belief was “the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were”. This lead to the development of many extremely dangerous bombs and weapons, which could destroy life on earth. The Cold War was established

The weapon was developed as a deterrent against both the United States and the Soviet Union. Two years later, China had a fission bomb capable of being put onto a nuclear missile. It tested its first hydrogen bomb ("Test No. 6") in 1967, a mere 32 months after testing its first nuclear weapon (the shortest fission-to-fusion development known in history).[40] The country is currently thought to have had a stockpile of around

Both, the United States and the Soviet Union, developed a capability to launch a devastating attacks through submarines even after sustaining a full attack from their opponents. This policy became known as Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) both the United States and the Soviet Union knew that an attack upon the other would be catastrophic to themselves in theory restraining themselves from attacking the other. The risks brought by the use of these weapons was so horrible that they refrained from using

Kennedy and Russian leader Khrushev

can be prevented from creating more. A favorable reason the United States should be allowed to intervene is the country of North Korea. The North Koreans are not afraid of the U.S and their policies, indicated by North Korea's actions of nuclear missile tests. Republican candidate Donald Trump, has expressed his extreme dislike for nuclear weapons throughout multiple interviews. Trump said that the world's enemy is not global warm, but nuclear

on the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms had a five-year duration that would freeze the number of strategic ballistic missiles, such as the ICBM’s and the submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM’s), at the current level that was held in 1972. The ABM Treaty limited strategic missile defenses to 200 interceptors for each government and allowed each side to construct two missile defense sites, one to protect the national capital, the other to protect one ICBM field. A second round for SALT

the INF treaty. Woolf sympathizes that “under the New START treaty the parties will permit to conduct 18 short – notice onsite inspections each year. This inspections can occur at facilities that house both deployed and non-deployed launchers and missiles” (Woolf, 2012). During the New START Treaty two types of inspections will take places over the lasting year of the treaty; type on inspections and type two

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. BRIEF SYNOPSIS: It’s 1961 and the Navy celebrates the commission of the USS THRESHER, a US lead nuclear submarine. It’s designed to go faster, quieter, and deeper than any sub ever built. ADMIRAL HYMAN RICKOVER (60’s) designed the reactor that powers it. Family man, CHIEF DAVID MOORE (20’s), is selected to command the vessel. Joining
