Document Summary
Mutually assured destruction: if one country was to attempt to destroy the other, then the other would take action to destroy the other. Fallout shelters: stocked with food, water, and everything else you could need to survive for several weeks. Us needed time to stop the soviets because our force could not stop the huge. Had to develop nuclear weapons to create a lethal path of radiation to prevent so of their forces from reaching the atlantic. Smallest nuclear weapon called the davy crockett. Possible final exam questions(some made by me and others by the prof) Short war, and less bloody warpartly because it would be shorterlooking for a repeat of the last war europe took part in that had only lasted a few months. Defensive side has the advantage because they had automatic weapons. Natural trading area was disrupted by new boundaries of what became independent countries.
