How did the buildup of nuclear weapons promote peace during the cold war?

History
2 answers:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

To begin, it didn't promote "peace" as much as it promoted a "cold war" which is the whole point of the name, Cold War.

Nuclear Weapons essentially forced the US and the Soviet Union into an uncomfortable draw.

They knew they couldn't fight each other directly so they fought each other in a series of devastating proxy wars around the world.

Answer:

The development of nuclear weapons was a decisive factor that generated stability, erroneously called peace, during the Cold War.

This was because in both ideological sides of this confrontation, both the leading powers (United States and the Soviet Union respectively) and their allies or secondary powers (Great Britain, France, China, among others) developed nuclear weapons capable of literally destroy much of civilization. Therefore, taking into account this situation, neither of the two blocks was willing to a large-scale nuclear confrontation, so they preferred to carry covert wars through more isolated countries (Vietnam, for example), for fear of destruction total through a nuclear war.

This meant that certain parameters of stability were maintained during the Cold War, although it was not a total peace.

Was Ying Zheng a 'good' or 'bad' emperor? Explain why.
Darina [25.2K]

In 221 BC, Ying Zheng accomplished his objective and established China's first feudal and centralized empire. The Qin Dynasty was what we called it (221 BC - 206 BC). Ying Zheng declared himself Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a united China. Qin Shi Huang, on the other hand, destroyed neighboring nations one by one, swallowing their territory into his expanding empire and enslaving and castrating their people. "He castrated people from other countries every time he seized them in order to mark them and turn them into slaves," explains Xun Zhou of Hong Kong University.
