Perlombaan senjata nuklir
Bagian dari era pasca Perang Dunia II dan Perang Dingin
Perlombaan senjata nuklir adalah kompetisi perlombaan senjata untuk supremasi dalam perang nuklir antara Amerika Serikat, Uni Soviet dan sekutu mereka masing-masing pada Perang Dingin. Pada masa yang sama, selain jumlah stok nuklir Amerika Soviet, negara lainnya mengembangkan senjata nuklir, meskipun tak ada yang melakukan produksi senjata perang pada nyaris skala yang sama dengan kedua adidaya tersebut.
