After which cold war event did the united states and the soviet union enter a nuclear arms race? a. mao zedong's newly founded people's republic of china formed an alliance with the soviet union. b. korea was divided at the 38th parallel into two parts. c. communist leader kim il sung prepared the north korean army. d. the soviets detonated their first atomic bomb in 1949. e. john dulles, us secretary of state, introduced the policy of brinkmanship.

 D) The Soviet Union developed its own atomic bomb.

Detail:

The Soviet Union had conducted espionage concerning the United States' "Manhattan Project," which was the US government's development of atomic bombs during World War II.  The US tested its first atomic bomb in July, 1945, and then used two such bombs to force Japan to surrender in August, 1945.

The USA would not share its nuclear weapons technology with the USSR, even though the two nations were allies during World War II.  But by 1949, the the Soviet Union had developed and tested its own atomic bomb.  From that point on, an arms race truly began between the two superpowers.
