Scenarios about 'ABM Treaty'
The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty was a bilateral agreement between the United States and Soviet Union signed in 1972 limiting defensive missile systems. It aimed to prevent an escalating arms race by ensuring mutual vulnerability, thereby reinforcing the concept of mutually assured destruction as a deterrent against nuclear war. The treaty remained a cornerstone of Cold War strategic stability until the United States withdrew from it in 2002.
