Arms Race
ICBM missile
What is a arms race? A arms race is a competition between nation for superiority in the development and accumulation of weapons. The First development was the creation of the United States nuclear bomb, called the Manhattan Project. With this project completed the U.S will drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII. With the fear of the Soviet Union, they will develop their first atomic bomb. This will be tested on August 29, 1949 at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. Now that the Soviet Union and the United States have control over weapons. They will try to over power and make mass quantity of bomb. Until 1952, when the U.S. will create the first H-bomb. The major difference is the H-bomb hold fission in the outer case and the A-bomb in the inner jacket. With this development the first ICBM missile will be created.
A ICBM stands for Intercontinental ballistic missile, which is used to target on other countries in case of emergency. In the first stages of development, this missile will be test fired during WWII by Nazi Germany. Meanwhile in the Cold War the U.S. will develop the Atlas missile. This missile will be the first to be developed for the U.S. in 1957. Knowing it will be 100 times stronger than the bomb in Nagasaki. Next would be the Minutemen missile. This missile was design to take out the Soviet Union in case of attack. Kennedy will order the U.S. to make hundreds of these missiles. Today the Soviet Union has 8,500 missiles and the U.S. has 7,700 missiles for deployment.
