- Methods of delivery
- WW2
- carpet bombing
- dropping bomb from a plane
- not as precise as later techniques
- lots dropped
- carpet bombing
- Atom Bomb 1945
- dropped from a plane - continuity
- more accurate, only one dropped - change
- arms race one
- B-52 dropped by plane - continuity
- more developed - 6000 miles + nuclear payload - change
- medium + intermediate range ballistic missiles, inter-continental missiles - change
- missiles not bombs - change
- arms race two
- minute man - silos, portable - change
- still a missile - continuity
- Submarine launched - change
- missiles continuity
- cruise missiles - continuity
- jet powered - change
- guided - change
- minute man - silos, portable - change
- so .... from a plane dropping them to being fired remotely as missiles
- scale
- cologne
- 1000 bombers
- 40 000 dead
- hiroshoma
- 1 bomb(er)
- 80 000 dead
- cologne
- WW2
- Arms limitation
- 1963- 87
- why?
- cut expenditure
- Cuba missiles
- people shocked it came that close to a nuclear war
- need to prevent a possible war breaking out
- CND - campaign for nuclear disarmament
- Détente - thaw in the cold war
- both superpowers agreed to arms limitation
- slow pace of change
- progress
- 2 superpowers overcame their fear
- prepared to limit their weapons
- change - never been done before
- set up a hotline after cuba
- change - never been done before
- unsucessful
- START Startegic arms reduction talks
- USA + USSR nothing agreed
- START Startegic arms reduction talks
- successful
- INF - intermediate nuclear forces treaty
- stops long range missiles
- allows inspection
- 1st time ever arms reduction agreed - change
- agreeing to protect themselves
- INF - intermediate nuclear forces treaty
- others
- partial test ban treaty
- non-proliferation treaty
- SALT 1 SALT 2
- START INF
- Development of missiles
- V1 + V2 in WW2
- Atom bomb
- death toll 80 000 increase from small bombs - change
- annoyed stalin - surpise - didn't know USA had an atom bomb
- sparked cold war
- then arms race
- sparked cold war
- Arms race 1
- H-bomb - change
- Ussr - MRBM 3000 Km IRBM 5500km
- USA - Atlas ICBM 8000km 16000mph - change type of missiles and range
- continuity still missiles
- V1 62000 dead ICBM 20 million dead - change
- Arms race 2
- minute man - 30 seconds launch
- MIRVs multiple target - change
- people wanted first strike capabilities and the ability to fire back quickly - change
- technology + sputnik helped launching
- MAD mutually assured destruction
- more range and power = more assured destruction
- deterrent - no use if anyone uses their weapons
- back to conventional tactics - continutiy
- more range and power = more assured destruction
- SDI - Strategic Defence Initiative president Reagan - change
- used to be on attack now on defence, warfare is changing
- future conflicts didn't use missiles etc.
- Star wars - nuclear umbrella, made up of satellites with lasers
- never happened
- forces USSR to disarm, weapons of no use.... + USSR behind in space race.... SDI stopped rapid missile growth
- used to be on attack now on defence, warfare is changing
- conclusion
- significant change methods of delivery
- dropped by plane to being fired as amissiles
- range of missiles grew in lenth until ...
- they reached MAD with range and destruction....
- ...so... moved to defence - talked about arms limitation
- major, key , foremost, most important, crucial , vital , decisive and important
- significant change methods of delivery
- Methods of delivery
