It Happened!

Description: On October 10, 1963, the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, an important step in limiting nuclear weapons testing, officially came into effect. This treaty marked a significant moment during the Cold War era when the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, among other nations, agreed to prohibit nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere, space, and underwater.
The treaty aimed to reduce the environmental and health hazards associated with nuclear testing and contributed to easing tensions between the superpowers during the Cold War. By entering into force, the treaty signaled a commitment to global nuclear disarmament efforts and the pursuit of a more peaceful world.
