(Nuclear)Arms Race An arms race indicates a rapid increase in the quantity or quality of instruments of military power by rival states in peacetime. August 29, 1949: Soviet Union successfully tested its first atomic bomb 1952 : United States detonated the first hydrogen bomb. This was an even more powerful version of the nuclear bomb 1953: Soviets explode their first Hydrogen Bomb As both sides continued to develop new and more powerful weapons, the fear of what would happen if war broke out spread throughout the world. It is estimated that by 1961 there were enough nuclear bombs built to destroy the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg9scNl9h4Q

Arms Race : Think About It How would you feel if you were shown that video in school?

Rosenberg's Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiring to steal designs for America's atomic bomb and delivering them to Soviet secret agents. (1951) The Rosenberg's were sentenced to death row Were offered a deal in which their death sentences would be commuted in return for an admission of their guilt Did not say they were guilty so they were killed

Rosenberg’s: Think About It? Do you think the Rosenberg’s were guilty? Why or why not?

Cuban Missile Crisis In 1962, a super-fast American U2 spy plane spotted Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, a country close to the State of Florida. They put missiles in Cuba because we had missiles in Turkey President Kennedy called a meeting with his main security advisors. He decided to put in place a Naval Blockade Eventually the two sides reached an agreement. The Soviet Union would remove the missiles from Cuba as long as the United States agreed to never invade Cuba again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= vTqprgCM784&nohtml5=False (JFK)

Cuban Missile Crisis: Think About it Not everyone in the US was happy about the outcome. General Curtis LeMay called it the worst defeat in US history. Do you agree or disagree with him?
