Nuclear Bomb Simulation

Today in class we did a simulation based on what happened during the Cold War and nuclear weapons. The simulation was in our groups to build a flashlight which represented the bomb, but each group only had one part of the flashlight and so we had to acquire the items from other groups by trading. To make things more complicated, there were several spies whose job was to sneak items from the group that they were "in" to their own actual group. In the end of the simulation, 4 out of 6 groups had "bombs" and they all kept on bombing each other setting the CWI record for 2 seconds to bomb each other. Most people in the class blamed this happening on the one man nation. The simulation showed the tensions between US and USSR. It also showed us which way was safer, if more countries or groups had bombs or one country or two country. In our simulation, I think that of only one country had the bomb it would have been more safe because that one country would know that the other countries wouldn't be able to attack them and they wouldn't need to attack the other weaker countries that don't have t bombs.
