The correct answer is C) the arms race.

<em>The reason that led to "duck and covers" drills and bomb shelters in the United States during the Cold War was the arms race.</em>

When the Soviet Union exploited its first nuclear bomb in 1949, people in America got worried because they already knew what a nuclear bomb was capable of doing. And now, Russia had nuclear weapons. During the Cold War years, the arms race was the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for supremacy in the production of nuclear weapons. So the "duck and covers" drills were mandated in public places and American homes in order to protect and know what to do in the extreme case of a nuclear explosion.

During the French and Indian War, France and Great Britain fought for control of North American territory. What impact did the e

Radda [10]

The biggest effect of the French and Indian War was that it taught the 13 American colonies how to fight together. Before this war there was a mutual distrust between the thirteen. The next common foe would be Great Britain in the American Revolution.

This war also left Great Britain in extreme financial trouble within their military which of course will be a huge advantage for the colonists in the Revolution.

Great Britain tried to tax the colonists to make some money to be able to afford their military but this backfired when the colonists asked for representation in parliament-were denied- and started tossing tea off ships in Boston.

Therefore, we can really thank the French and Indian War for paving the way to our freedom.
