Brinkmanship and Mutual Assured Destruction were used to try and avert either side from being the first to start a conflict.
When the United States and the Soviet Union developed atomic weapons, they were constantly worried about when the other country would attack. As a result of the constant fear of attack, they were on edge of a war. The arms race was almost a guarantee that most of everybody would be dead.
