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.
