Such as Japan and Britain that signed a treaty to restrict arms or Germany who (while violating the treaty) amped up their arms/military, creating competition between countries in Europe and the Pacific. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/queenhamdos32/eqmaj6lvbfn6zmbb/wish/2133209623 What was the hydrogen bomb?

How would this be an important moment in the arms race? queenhamdos32 https://padlet.com/queenhamdos32/eqmaj6lvbfn6zmbb/wish/2133232990 The Cuban Missile Crisis had importance because it dealt with the use of missiles in a secret plan made by Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro to plant missleheads in Cuba. It became a standoff once US intelligence deemed Cuba to be rid of nuclear weapons. This was the closest the two countries ever came close to a whole nuclear war.]]> 2022-04-06 18:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/queenhamdos32/eqmaj6lvbfn6zmbb/wish/2133232990 3 ways competition was created between the US & the USSR queenhamdos32 https://padlet.com/queenhamdos32/eqmaj6lvbfn6zmbb/wish/2133236271 The historical context despite it relating to different countries, it shows that once certain parts of a nation’s military are deemed superior, another will attempt to dominate by an means. The treaty of versailles as it was incapable of stopping an enemy nation at its time from building the arms, then it surely had no capability to stop two countries from doing the same post world war. The Atomic bomb because it targeted a nation the had conflicts with the US but showed that during this arms race, these 2 countries had the means of using other countries for their own benefit (how the Soviet Union used Cuba) all for the sake of showing superiority and dominance of the other.
