26) Nuclear Deterrence. Read the following historical argument, and discuss whether its conclusion is the only possible con- clusion or whether others may also be possible. The development of nuclear weapons changed the way world leaders think about potential conflicts. A single nuclear weapon can kill millions of people, and the arsenals of the United States and the Soviet Union contained enough power to kill everyone on Earth many times over. This potential for catastrophic damage led to the idea of nuclear deterrence, which held that the United States and the Soviet Union would be deterred from direct warfare by the sear of nuclear war. For the more than 45 years of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union never did fight directly. This was one of the longest periods in human history during which two major enemies avoided direct war We can only conclude that nuclear deterrence prevented war between the United States and the Soviet Union

As this will more harmfull for both countries in the sense of economy and also in human beings. Since both of the countries having good nuclear power thats a result prevent war between them.
