Etymology
The term 'denuclearization' gained prominence in the late 20th century as nuclear weapons became a major global concern. The focus on denuclearization intensified during the Cold War era, with efforts to reduce the nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Soviet Union. In more recent times, denuclearization has been a key issue in international relations, particularly in discussions with countries like North Korea and Iran.
