How did the U.S. and the Soviet Union attempt to limit the possibility of global nuclear destruction?

History

The US and Soviet Union attempted to limit the possibility of global nuclear destruction by agreeing to treaties.

A perfect example of this would be the Cuban Missile Crisis. After finding Soviet missiles located in Cuba, the US was considered invading/attacking Cuba. However, president John F. Kennedy and Nikkita Khruschev were able to find a peaceful solution after thirteen tense days of negotiations. This resulted in the removal of Soviet missiles in Cuba and the removal of US missiles in Turkey.

Other treaties, like the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT), also helped in reducing the possiblity of an all out nuclear war between the US and Soviet Union.

Five to ten sentences, describe how Islam and Christianity have impacted the world in positive ways?
rjkz [21]

Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world and share a historical and traditional connection, with some major theological differences. The two faiths share a common place of origin in the Middle East, and consider themselves to be monotheistic.

The  effect of the spread of Islam was an increase in trade.  Unlike early Christianity, Muslims were not reluctant to engage in trade and profit; Muhammad himself was a merchant.  As new areas were drawn into the orbit of Islamic civilisation, the new religion provided merchants with a safe context for trade.  The application of sharia—Islamic law derived from the Koran—ensured a certain measure of uniformity in the application of criminal justice.  Sharia law protected commerce and imposed stiff punishments for theft and dishonesty.  Muslim jurists called qadis were established to resolve disputes through the application of sharia.  Merchants were thus provided with a forum for making complaints and having them resolved in a consistent and systematic way.  Trade and travel were not as risky or perilous as before and both thrived with the coming of Islam.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, state your opinion on the relationship between the federal government and state’s right
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It’s hard to imagine the United States without a large central government. Americans often forget that the Founders disagreed vehemently regarding the size/form/structure that our new governement should take. These disagreements first resulted in factions (Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists) and eventually led to the development of America’s first political parties.
