   The Nuclear arms race was a competition
    for supremacy in nuclear warfare between
    the United States, the Soviet Union, and
    their respective allies during the Cold
    War. During the Cold War, in addition to
    the American and Soviet nuclear
    stockpiles, other countries also developed
    nuclear weapons, though none engaged in
    warhead production on nearly the same
    scale as the two superpowers.
   The united states became the first
    country in the world to use nuclear
    weapons when they boomed Hiroshima
    and Nagasaki in 1945.These bombs had
    been dropped by planes but it soon
    became clear that it would be far more
    effective to use rockets as a means of
    delivering the weapon to its target.
   AS the United states perceived their main enemy to
    be the soviet union, they needed missiles that could
    travel long distances.

    Therefore , after the war , the United states
    concentrated on devoloping.The breakthrough came in
    1952 when the united states exploded their hydrogen
    bomb.

    Most modern designs support multiple independently
    targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing a single
    missile to carry several warheads, each of which can
    strike a different target.
