Weapons_Of_Mass_Destruction

Weapons Of Mass Destruction The definition of weapons proliferation is the rapid increase in the number and destructive capabilities of armaments. Weapons proliferation is a huge problem for the entire world; however it has been a problem since World War I. There was an arms race between Germany and Great Britain that lead to World War I. The arms race between the United States of America and the Soviet Union (the Cold War), nearly lead to World War III. The nuclear race between India and Pakistan lead to underground tests in both countries. And the anthrax attacks against the United States in the fall of 2001. Arms proliferation is nothing new to modern society, it is something that all of us has lived with, especially those that remember the Cold War. In the 20th century, weapons proliferation has presented a greater threat than the previous four centuries combined; new technology offers weapons that are far more destructive than ever before. Weapons proliferation has always been a controversial subject; money used to build these arms is money that could have been used towards education or health care.
