2. The two Super Powers in the Whole
World
The United States The Soviet Union
The United States and Soviet Union were the two
most powerful nations in the world, due to what
they are rivaling on, Nuclear Weapons.

3. A BRIEF HISTOTY
 The United States and the Soviet Union where
two of many countries that fought with and
against each other in WWII –which is mostly a
European War.

4. A BRIEF HISTOTY
 Those two countries grew to be natural
enemies due the fact that one (the US) tried to
stop the other (the Soviet Union) due to the
later being a communist country and the first
not.

5. A BRIEF HISTOTY
 When the US used its first Atomic bomb
against Japan, the Soviets started making their
own not only atomic bombs, but other
advanced technology. That lead to what is now
known as the Cold War. After that any country
that produced Nuclear Weapons was known
as part of the Nuclear Arms Race. But the
greatest powers where the US and the Soviet
Union.

6. What is the meaning of Nuclear arms
Race
 The nuclear arms race was a competition for
who was better in nuclear warfare between the
United States, the Soviet Union, and their
respective allies during the Cold War . During
the Cold War, in addition to the American and
Soviet nuclear stockpiles, other countries
developed nuclear weapons, though none
engaged in warhead production on nearly the
same scale as the two super powers.

7. Nuclear Arms Race
This picture shows how the United States is producing a bigger
amount of Nuclear Weapons than the Soviet Union. But still both
being superior on other countries in doing saw. And it also shows
trailing at the end of the Soviets the other countries which started
producing Nuclear Weapons, but in smaller amounts. Those are the
Nuclear Arms race.

8. What was it all about
 When Americans first made their first Nuclear
bomb, the Soviets sought ever then to beat
them. Since the Cold war was not like any
other normal war, the Americans did not fight
in direct battle, but in who has the most
advanced technology and war weapons.
Simply who ever makes the biggest number of
nuclear weapons wins the war. And the United
States and Soviet Union both worked on it.

9. World’s most powerful nuclear arms race
It shows the US and the Soviets both fighting against who has better
Nuclear Weapons and assuring that if one attacked and destroyed the
other would do the same. This is called Mutually Assured Destruction.

10. Mutually Assured Destruction
 It is simply that both the Soviets and the
Americans know that if one of them attacked
the other with nuclear weapons, or simply just
attacked by sending soldiers they are both
dead. That means that if one side strikes they
both know that non are actually going to
survive.

11. That is not all
 That Soviets and the Americans both worked
over time to build more advance nuclear
weapons. It build on till they both had their
own Hydrogen bombs, which was much more
powerful than the Atomic bomb. They were
both neck to neck in winning this war.

12. Preparing for an Accurate
Destruction
 After developing their hydrogen bomb, the US
made its first Atlas missile that could travel
6000 miles and land within a mile of its target.
Then the Minutemen missile that could be
launched in 30 seconds unlike the Atlas
missile which took an hour to launch. Then
they developed submarines that could carry
nuclear missiles close to the Soviet Union
which were a long way behind the US in
nuclear technology.

The US The Soviet Union
 They have to win the cold war  They have to win the war to
