when did the space race begin cold war
Space Race In 1955, with both the United States and the Soviet Union building ballistic missiles that could be utilized to launch objects into space, the "starting line" was drawn for the Space Race.[34] In separate announcements four days apart, both nations publicly announced that they would launch artificial Earth satellites by 1957 or 1958.[34] On July 29, 1955, James C. Hagerty, president Dwight D. Eisenhower's press secretary, announced that the United States intended to launch "small Earth circling satellites" between July 1, 1957, and December 31, 1958, as part of their contribution to the International Geophysical Year (IGY).[34] Four days later, at the Sixth Congress of International Astronautical Federation in Copenhagen, scientist Leonid I. Sedov spoke to international reporters at the Soviet embassy, and announced his country's intention to launch a satellite as well, in the "near future".[34] On August 30, 1955, Korolev managed to get the Soviet Academy of Sciences to create a commission whose purpose was to beat the Americans into Earth orbit: this was the de facto start date for the Space Race.[34] The Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union began a policy of treating development of its space program as a classified state secret.

Cold War The Cuban Missile Crisis (Octoberâ€“November 1962) brought the world closer to nuclear war than ever before.[184] The aftermath of the crisis led to the first efforts in the nuclear arms race at nuclear disarmament and improving relations,[130] although the Cold War's first arms control agreement, the Antarctic Treaty, had come into force in 1961.[185]
