Khrushchev Gives Go Ahead for Nuclear Testing
The Soviet Union ends its three year moratorium on nuclear tests and announces plans to develop bombs with explosive yields up to 100 million tons of TNT amid Western tensions. Khrushchev blames the United States and allies for resuming tests and ties the move to the Berlin crisis and NATO policy. The statement signals a desire to pressure the West into peace talks while warning of the potential global impact of new weapons.
