the tensions between two countries has never been as tense as they were during the cold war. with the two biggest superpowers in the world with nuclear war heads pointed at each other the United States and Russia faced off on proving themselves as the greatest power in world. both nations had continued to match the others capability, and the others knowledge. the Russians early were able to create their own atomic bomb as the U.S. and test it to show to the world as much as the U.S. that they could create their own. The United States were quick to try and stay a step ahead of Russia so they had developed the hydrogen bomb a bomb that created a huge fire ball and an explosion of heat radiation, but this was only for six months till Russia had finally created their own hydrogen bomb. this made U.S. scared of the idea that Russia was capable of just as much as they could and maybe even more.
