Abstract/Summary
The major goal of a state is to survive specifically if it is under the mercy of nuclear weapons. Admittedly, not all states possess equal distribution of nuclear weapons. Some states are more advanced and powerful compared to other states. This kind of thought is definitely not peculiar to the United States (US) and Britain. Indeed, the two states have divided interest in terms of gaining nuclear superiority. However, this study is more concerned with how the US and Britain fueled its nuclear partnership particularly when the two states signed the Mutual Defense Agreement and the Nassau Agreement. This study will discuss the factors that ultimately led the US and Britain to sign the two nuclear arms treaty mentioned in response to the burgeoning threat posed by the Soviet Union during the first half of the Cold War period. At the helm of the nuclear agreements signed lies the principle that no state is an island in terms of combating nuclear threats.
