Countries with the Most Nuclear Bombs | 1945-2025

Welcome to our timeline of the most powerful and destructive weapons ever created by humankind. What you are about to see is the dramatic story of how the nuclear club expanded, country by country, year by year. From 1945, we will watch as the Cold War ignites a ferocious competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1949, the USSR successfully tested its own bomb, and with that, the bipolar arms race began. For the next four decades, these two superpowers would dominate the world's nuclear landscape, building arsenals of staggering size. This timeline will visualize their relentless drive for supremacy, as stockpiles surged from dozens to tens of thousands, reaching a terrifying global peak of nearly 70,000 warheads in the mid-1980s.
