Which treaty between United States and Soviet Union signed in 1972, tried to stop using missiles as a defensive shield to launch a nuclear attack?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4 - Anti Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty
The Anti-ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 1972 tried to stop the United States and the Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles as a defensive shield to launch a nuclear attack. While it did allow both countries to deploy a very limited number of defensive systems, it stopped them from large-scale production of those systems.
