Project Iceworm. Project Iceworm was used to test the frozen tunnels to see if it was convenient to make a huge launch site under the ice, close enough to fire nuclear missiles straight towards the Soviet Union. Project Iceworm extended 4,000 kilometers of icy underground tunnels and chambers. It is said to hold about 600 ballistic missiles. However, Project Iceworm was a fail. Engineers soon realized that it would not work because the constant moving of ice was too unstable and eventually the…

beginning to want to repair the image that Stalin had previously set. They had different ideals to each other, which took the Soviet Union towards a new direction. These ideals like Khrushchev willing to risk so much for so little led to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The crisis led to the worsening relationship between the…

investments from military radar, to better trained armies, to even something as drastic as the nuclear missile program. North Korea has been in the news a lot lately for their nuclear missile programs. The country has been testing nuclear missiles since 2006 violating many international laws and threatening national security. As a result, North Korea should be banned from their nuclear missile program due to their continued aggression toward the west that can potentially…

but a fraction of the power we now have with hydrogen bombs. Nuclear weapons have shaped society in many ways, in the cold war we lived in constant fear that everything we’ve ever known will be destroyed before we even knew what happened. The Cuban Missile Crisis is a great example about how we cannot control who has nuclear weapons and how we cannot control the oversight of these nuclear weapons. We still face problems today with nations such as Iran, Israel, and North Korea who believe…

Weaponry has played a large part in shaping history into what it is today: it's toppled nations, built empires, and destroyed them all the same. With this humanity has continued to improve it, from spears and bows to bombs capable of leveling cities in seconds. This massive change in weaponry begins to raise the question, at what point have we gone too far? To answer this, we must look at the evolution of weaponry, especially around World War 1 and World War 2 where this evolution was most…

the results of the competitive analysis fairly predictable, with the hawkish Team B exaggerating the Soviet intentions, against the more cautious position of Team A, hence the exercise was soon abandoned. Moreover, the agreement on the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the SALT II made evident that, finally known the size of Soviet capabilities, there was a urgent need of more and deeper intelligence on the intentions of…

to prevent escalation or intervention because of agreed alliances or treaties. Russia was involved in Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine, Syria, China continues to expand its area denial campaign in the South China Sea, and North Korea continues its ballistic missile testing. These are examples of where states are expanding their power with limited military support and learning from international responses. Because the United States and international community are not responding with unified actions…

popularity of fortified castle and city walls rose significantly. This made Catapults a necessity for many armies during this era. Catapults were used to launch projectiles which in our society today acted as missiles for them. They destroyed enemy walls and troops in one massive blow. These missiles were either launched directly at the wall to cause huge amounts of damage to the fortifications or were launched over the wall to lay siege on the population within the protective walls. Catapults…

With the victory at the conclusion of World War II, Americans experienced an all time high and viewed Dwight D. Eisenhower, Presidential candidate, as a savior—the man who defeated Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and the man who ended the Korean War (after becoming President). Despite his early success, it soon became one of his administrations to avoid long, expensive, and inconclusive wars similar to Korea. While doing this, they also intended to balance the budget and control taxes and inflation.…
