Originally, the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. Later France, China, India, and North Korea. Iran has been building towards a nuclear weapon, but there is little public information on the state of completion. Iraq under Sadam Hussein did have a building program that was stopped. During WW 2 Germany had an atomic weapons program that never produced a working atomic weapon. It is generally thought that Isreal has nuclear weapons- but it has not been publicy confirmed.

Mutually Assured Destruction.
The Cold War
The Civil Defense
it was a competition between two or more parties to have the best armed forces.
The nuclear arms race was the core of the cold war.
Nuclear arms race was where Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were
Ray Perkins has written: 'The ABCs of the Soviet-American nuclear arms race' -- subject(s): Arms race, Military policy, Nuclear arms control, Nuclear weapons
The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.
The end of everything.
Nuclear arms race was where Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were
'Arms race' was the 'race' between America and Soviet Russia to develop as many nuclear weapons as possible.
Britain
Truman, in 1949.
The Arms Race ended with the end of the cold war and the breakup of the USSR. The nuclear arms race came about during the Cold War.
its the dang atomic bomb
The arms race was dangerous because neither the Soviet Union or the U.S could protect its people from a nuclear attack.
