That is a little complicated:
- 1933, Leo Szilard invented the process of the neutron chain reaction while crossing a London street. His reason was to develop a better method of transmutation of elements.
- 1934, Leo Szilard files his patent on the neutron chain reaction, which also included claims on possible uses for power generation and explosives. The patent was granted as GB630726.
- 1936, Leo Szilard signs patent GB630726 to the British Admiralty because he fears the Nazis might get their hands on it.
- 1942, US begin work studying reactors and explosives based on nuclear chain reaction. The reason was fear the Nazis might develop it first. Almost immediately Edward Teller invents the hydrogen bomb, his reason was his intense fear of Communism, however he is stymied in all attempts to design it as the fusion reaction always "burns out" almost instantly.
- 1945, US tests first atomic bomb, then a month later drops 2 on Japan. The reason, to end the war ASAP!
- 1949, USSR tests their copy of the US' atomic bomb (from stolen plans). The reason, fear of the US' atomic bomb and Capitalism.
- 1951, Stanislaw Ulam and Edward Teller finally develop the x-ray driven radiation implosion design for the hydrogen bomb. It is tested in 1952. The reason, fear of the USSR's atomic bomb and Communism.
- 1953, USSR test the first "hydrogen bomb" able to be carried by a bomber. The reason, fear of the US' hydrogen bomb and Capitalism.
- The US and USSR madly make more and more nuclear weapons, until the USSR's economy eventually breaks down due to unrelated internal causes. The reason, fear becomes an endless infinite loop always feeding back on itself! This was the period of the nuclear arms race.

What was nuclear deterrence or mutual destruction?
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

Why did they consider making nuclear weapons?
WW II was a desperate struggle and there was no guarantee that the Allied forces would win. It was therefore thought to be a good idea to make advances in weapons technology. Of course today we have the problem of nuclear proliferation and the threat that someday nuclear weapons would be used for some very destructive purpose, but when nuclear weapons were invented, all that mattered was winning the war that was in progress at the time.
