Submarine-launched ballistic missile

The security environment that is shaping the Joint Force 2025 (JF25) is incredibly complex and rapidly evolving. Challengers to security and stability include two aggressive competing powers (China and Russia), two nuclear capable regional hegemons (North Korea and Iran), and a persistent threat of terrorism to the homeland. The global commons are contested and access to the space and cyber domains are no longer guaranteed. Fiscal constraints limit the available means for the Joint Force (JF)

the Space Race, its back story begins much earlier. In 1955, both the United States and the Soviet Union both announced that they were building ballistic missiles that could be used as vehicles to launch objects into space; this

The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the most pressured filled moments in the history of the United States. Furthermore, the actins that took place that day would have not have just effected the United States and the Soviet Union but the entire war. The U.S. and Soviet Union the resident two superpowers of the time were on the verge of all out nuclear war. That potential war would have murdered tens of thousands of people within the first couple days. Furthermore, the nuclear fallout from a war of

States overall sided with the arms controller in order to eventually rid the world of its nuclear threat.      The bomber gap and the missile gap were both Russian propaganda plots that helped to push the United States ahead even further in both. Nuclear weapons eventually were placed in the bombers in the air and submarine vessels at sea. Although the Russians had beaten the Americans at the beginning of the space race with the launch of Sputnik I and superior air defense capabilities

The 1960’s were an extremely volatile and important time for the United States and the rest of the world. The vietnam war started to escalate in the mid 1960’s. What followed was many protests and started more of a division of the country. The 1960’s were also a time of extreme distrust of the government, a pattern of distrust that continues today. Towards the end of this disturbing decade came hopes of peace with the idea of detente between the United States and Russia. Richard Nixon was the

it to best of his ability. This scary time in America was known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. But through JFK’s smart and fast decision making he practically saved America from nuclear war and eased the tensions between the United States, Soviet Union and Cuba. In the 1960’s, the Cold War was

Nuclear Fallout “I have to bring to your notice a terrifying reality: with the development of nuclear weapons Man has acquired, for the first time in history, the technical means to destroy the whole of civilization in a single act.”- Joseph Rotblat. After the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, forcing Japan to surrender on the 14, people finally got to see the pure and utter destruction that a nuclear bomb had the potential of

placing fifteen Jupiter intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM) near Izmir, Turkey. Even though President Kennedy said that these missiles might have "questionable strategic value" the Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev, made America aware of his anger and distain regarding Kennedy’s decision. Khrushchev believed that these missiles were not only an offense to him, but to his country as well. However, the United States also possessed nuclear submarines which posed an even greater threat than

United States that it possessed submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the third and most effective delivery system developed. The USSR maintained silence until 1968 when they too started using the new technology. This new technology came up with various new challenges because the country had very few harbours that could service its nuclear submarines (Phillips, 2003). In 1968, the Soviet Union came up with a new development- the building of antiballistic missiles defence systems. These were to be

The word culture can sometimes be a complex word. According to Merriam-Webster (2017), the definition of culture can be defined as “the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; also: the characteristic features of everyday existence (such as diversions or a way of life) shared by people in a place or time.” In this essay, I will go over how, although, Korea are split into two separate countries, the culture in North Korea is still very similar
