Question 8 • Virginia and US History

In 1963, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a treaty stating that

Answer
A
only the US and the USSR could have nuclear weapons.
B
all nuclear testing would be halted.
C
all nuclear testing would be held underground.
D
the use of nuclear weapons would be banned.

Explanation

The 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty prohibited nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space, and underwater. It did not end all nuclear testing; underground tests were still allowed, so nuclear testing was restricted to underground tests. The treaty did not ban nuclear weapons or limit them to the United States and the Soviet Union.
