aug 12, 1953 - Soviet Union develops H-bomb

Description:

After detonating an H-bomb at a northern test site, the Soviet Union claimed they had developed an H-bomb.

The Cold War concept that this event matches is deterrence. This is because the Soviet use of an atomic bomb warned the US that they could defend themselves in a nuclear war.
