Along with the tensions and threats on Berlin, the main threat for 40 years was the existence of nuclear weapons. The Soviets very well knew that we (U.S.) had the power to drop atomic bombs on them if needed, remembering Japan in WWII. But soon making history, there would be enough nuclear power to blow up the whole planet, so the two superpowers were still trying to be cautious and keep this a "cold" war and not a "hot" war. So for a while the threats of nukes lingered, but decided to put them on the backburner for a while. We all know that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were frivolous with competition so in the meantime came...the Arms and Space Race!!! Dun Dun Dun Dunnnn........
