["THE COLD WAR AFTER The Cold War had its seasons. Periodically there would be a thaw in relations, usually following a particularly chilly spell. THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS In 1962 the USSR secretly began to deploy nuclear warheads on Cuba, the new Communist state under Fidel Castro. The US intelligence services became aware of this and President Kennedy demanded that the nuclear warheads be removed. Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev, Communism (as most Westerners Potential enemies such as anti- Ready to respond refused\u2014and for believed throughout the Cold War) communists, priests, and intellectuals The B-52 Stratofortress was the archetypal Cold War as with protecting Mother Russia. were ruthlessly purged, as they had aircraft.

Union expressed amazement at America\u2019s readiness to begin the militarization of space, but the real problem was that the USSR could no longer compete technologically. It had already lost the arms race by the time the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. With that cataclysmic event, the Cold War e\ufb00ectively came to an end. KEY MOMENT THE RUSSIAN BOMB For four years after the war, the US was the world\u2019s only nuclear power. However, during that time the Soviet Union made an immense e\ufb00ort to manufacture its own atomic bomb, and thereby put itself back on an equal tactical footing with the US. The \ufb01rst Soviet bomb, designated RDS-1, was made with uranium expropriated from the Nazi nuclear weapons program during the invasion of Germany in 1945. Its design relied a great deal on stolen plans that were obtained by Soviet agents in the US. The bomb was detonated in Kazakhstan on August 29, 1949; that great explosion was the starting pistol of the nuclear arms race.
