The victory in the Cold War brought the cost of the spread of nuclear weapons and the general arms race, which created new dangers for the United States and the world. Despite achieving victory in the ideological battle against the Soviet Union, the threat of nuclear war and the proliferation of nuclear weapons remained a significant concern. The arms race during the Cold War led to an increased risk of accidental or intentional use of nuclear weapons, posing a threat to global security. The United States had to continue managing and investing in its own nuclear arsenal to maintain deterrence, which incurred substantial costs.
