Question
Write an essay in which you argue whether using nuclear weapons as a form of deterrence was an effective strategy for preventing conflict between the West and the Soviet Union. Be sure to cite evidence from the text to support your position.
Solution
VerifiedFor this essay on deterrence here are some things to consider:
-Both the U.S. and the Soviet Union were stockpiling nuclear weapons because if one side had enough to destroy the world, the likelihood of nuclear war was decreased.
-There wasn't a single nuclear warhead that was actually fired at a rival during the Cold War, however it did get close in some instances
-Most Americans lived out their days quite scared of the Soviet's potential power and this fear went on for decades.
