The timeline suggests that nuclear proliferation was a significant concern after World War II. While initially, nations felt compelled to develop their own nuclear arsenals in response to the power dynamics established by the United States and the Soviet Union, there were also efforts to prevent the further spread and use of nuclear weapons. This indication of both competition among nations to acquire nuclear capabilities and simultaneous attempts at control highlights the dual nature of nuclear proliferation during this period—fear of the destructive potential of nuclear weapons leading to both acquisition and prevention efforts.
