1. Story
2. The first treaty to require actual reductions in strategic nuclear forces rather than caps on their growth was signed months before the state that signed it ceased to exist. Its implementation therefore became a problem of succession: strategic weapons were left on the territory of several newly independent states, and a subsequent protocol arranged for those weapons to be removed to Russia and for the other states to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty as non-nuclear-weapon states.

25. Named as the canonical open published series for warhead inventories and force structure across the period and after it. V55 verification basis: NOT consulted; no warhead total, peak-stockpile figure or year of peak is quoted anywhere in this pack, and a curator should take every such number from this series directly.
