The Arms Race

The Arms Race was when the Soviet Union and the U.S.A tried to make their weapons bigger and stronger and more destructive. The U.S wanted to make a bigger bomb than the atomic bomb so they made the Hydrogen Bomb which is 50 times stronger than the Atomic bomb. The U.S blew the first one up on 1953. We thought that it was gonna take the Soviet Union years to have one but we were far from right. The next year the Soviet Union blew up their first Hydrogen Bomb in the Pacific ocean to show the U.S that they can make whatever they made. The U.S could not believe it they were mad. So they kept working on bigger bombs and making their bombs bigger and more destructive. In the 1960's we even had the power to blow up the whole world. This was called the Cuban Missile Crisis, because the Soviet Union had an alliance with Cuba and that is where they were working on it. They had a missile that can blow up the wholem world we did too.
