Question

Why did both the U.S. and the USSR continue to make more and more missiles and atomic weapons? a. Each side wanted enough weapons to withstand and outlast its attacker. b. Each side wanted to keep creating weapons to ensure its people had jobs. c. Each side wanted to keep their military strong so the other side would not attack. d. Each side knew if they stopped building these weapons then their people would revolt.

Answer 1

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. and the USSR believed in the concept of deterrence, which meant that possessing a strong military, including nuclear weapons, would prevent the other side from launching an attack. This led to an ongoing competition to develop and stockpile more missiles and atomic weapons to show military strength and deter potential aggression.

I hope this helped!
