Question

Why was a buildup of weapons big enough for mutually assured destruction seen as a way to preserve peace?

Answer 1

Answer:The knowledge that both sides would be destroyed in a war would prevent either side from starting hostilities.

Answer 2

The development of weapons sufficiently enormous for commonly guaranteed devastation seen as an approach to protect peace is on the grounds that the knowledge that both sides would absolutely be decimated in any hard and fast war would keep either side from beginning threats.
