The H-Bomb

The H-bomb played a huge role in the Cold War. The H-bomb was a hydrogen bomb being built by the USSR and terrified the USA because we thought the Soviets would use it again. We also did not want the media catching the attention of the Soviets beating us in the Arms Race. The US was also in the process of building an H-bomb, but not as quick as the Soviets. Luckily, neither of the H-bombs were launched, and we avoided a nuclear war, although we were lucky to do so.
