Nuclear conflict refers to a situation where countries use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against each other. This type of conflict can arise from political tensions, territorial disputes, or military confrontations. The potential for massive destruction and loss of life makes nuclear conflict a significant concern for global security. Preventing nuclear conflict involves international treaties and diplomatic efforts, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Countries work together to limit the spread of nuclear weapons and promote disarmament. Organizations like the United Nations play a crucial role in facilitating dialogue and reducing the risk of nuclear escalation.
