Did the guarantee of "mutual destruction" keep the two superpowers from using their arsenals?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Not entirely.
It only guaranteed that the super powers would not use atomic weapons against each other. That much worked.
- But the super powers found other ways of fighting each other. They used proxy wars (satellites fighting each other).
- They fought wars against powers that couldn't really fight back.
- They fought wars where the major method used by the enemy was something like guerrilla warfare.
War doesn't stop because each possesses a weapon they dare not use against the other.
If there is one thing man is exceptionally good at as a species, that is war. We're very creative.
