Abstract
Two international developments important for arms control took place in the 1960s. The first development, the move to negotiate on nuclear arms control, was triggered by the shock of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This terrifying event convinced leaders both in the United States and in the Soviet Union after many unproductive discussions over arms control, that they had to negotiate seriously with one another to reduce the risk of nuclear war.
