<h2>The United States and the Soviet Union developed the ability to completely destroy each other.</h2>

As the Cold War continued, the two superpowers (US and USSR) kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.  It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in <em>LIFE</em> magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

One political consequence of religious upheaval in the period 1450 to 1750
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The thirty-year war was the main consequence of the religious upheaval seen among 1450-1750.

Explanation:

The war of three years was established thanks to the religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Rome. This conflict that started being regional, gradually involved different European countries, reaching the point of involving the whole of Europe. The war lasted for years and in addition it ceased to have a religious nature to have a political nature, through the involvement of governments and the stabilization of alienations and persecutions, causing a great political polarization.

The war ended only after the Munster treaty, a peace treaty.
