United States and Canada This category places its primary focus upon articles about the United States y Canada.

United States has been historically the only state which has employed nuclear weapons during a war situation (against Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1945). Within the bipolar scheme of the Cold War, it shared the global power with the USSR, and after its end in 1991, remained as the sole superpower worldwide.

It is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. As a consequence of the Cold War’s race for more sophisticated and destructive weapons, the country developed an overdimensioned nuclear weapons arsenal together with their associated vectors. Although some of these weapons have been deactivated with the passage of time, there are two clearly opposing views about the emphasis that the country should put concerning nuclear disarmament. On the other hand, since 1970 the United States has destroyed its bio weapons’ offensive arsenals, and it is going ahead with a program of destruction of chemical weapons, due to its international commitments.

Its institutional quality and its democratic tradition, makes the United States in certain extent, a sort of predictable country concerning WMD development and use, mainly after the negative experience in Irak.

After 11S, it is highly involved on the fight to terrorism, due to self assess as a target of high priority for such organizations. Concerning this issue of big concern, its action has got a worldwide scope.

Canada, even with its own identity, keeps a strong strategic alliance with its neighbor, which covers many dimensions. The country has focused its high nuclear development on peaceful uses, mainly on power reactors. It has developed in the past chem and bio weapons, but years ago has terminated all its programs.
