Answer 6

So what do you know about the Cold War? The Arms race?

Answer 7

which answer choice is not like the others haha

Look up about the nuclear arms race during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the US

Answer 8

i tried looking for information but i cant really find any

Answer 9

So, you have the Soviet Union and the US

they're both competing against each other in trying to make more nuclear weapons so that way they can be more stronger in case of a potential attack

Answer 10

You already know that US had an atomic bomb (remember WW2 and Hiroshima and Nagasaki?)

so if the Soviet Union develops an atomic bomb now in 1949, how would that change things?

remember- people were scared of nuclear bombs because boom and everything is wiped out. So they were scared of a war breaking out and nuclear bombs being used

Answer 11

yes it would make them more worried about the bomb right?

Answer 12

now remember that the question says EXCEPT

so which answer choice can you eliminate?

Answer 13

c?

Answer 14

yes, we can eliminate that since the Soviets are making bombs, the US is going to make more

what else can we eliminate?

Answer 15

a right?

Answer 16

Good, good! Now what else can we eliminate?

Remember what we said about people being worried about a possible war that could get nuclear bombs involved

Answer 17

so if people were worried about it that means the tension rose between the Soviet union and the u.s?

Answer 18

the answer choice says tension IN the US and Soviet Union

but yes the people in each country would be more tense that if something accidentally triggered a war, then the whole world was going to end with all the nuclear bombs they had

so what answer choice are we left with?

Answer 19

b? i believe its this cause it says expect and i feel like the bomb would make us want to have a treaty so that wouldnt be the answer

Answer 20

no

remember the cold war didn't end until the Soviet Union broke apart into different countries in 1991

Answer 21

they didn't sign any treaty, they were competing against each other to make more

Answer 22

so d?

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24
