The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
The US side has proceeded with plans to deploy two kinds of Intermediate-Range Nuclear missiles in countries in the UK, Italy, West Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium with the government of the five countries.
It was planned to deploy 572 groups of ballistic missile Pershing II and Tomahawk of cruise missiles.
Fierce opposition to this deployment occurred in Western European countries.
It is so-called anti-nuclear movement.
‘If you deploy a new missile, you harden the Soviet Union, run it further to the military expansion, the nuclear war crisis got higher, peace and disarmament go away’ was argued by anti-nuclear theorists.
The Asahi Shimbun also continued to send approval from Japan to this claim.
It was later discovered that the Soviet government also supported anti-nuclear movement in various ways on the Western side.
This draft continues.
