Question

Which of the following best describes “nuclear deterrence”?

the belief that a nuclear war would have no winner
the idea that no nuclear weapon was as strong as armed forces
the idea that the threat of nuclear war was enough to stop an attack
the competition to acquire more and deadlier weapons

Answer 1

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If a country has for example, a hydrogen bomb, an enemy country would not like to attack said country as they will have the fear of being bombed, this bomb acts as a "deterrent". A real world example of this is the Cold war, where both the USSR and USA were at war, but due to the threat of the Nuclear bombs each side possessed, the war was "cold" as in no gunfire.
