Nonetheless, the Partial Test Ban Treaty was a historic milestone in arms control and signified the first, real progress on a test ban between the great powers in the Cold War. 6. In May 1955, the United Nations Disarmament Commission brought together the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and the Soviet Union to begin negotiations on ending nuclear weapons testing. The impetus for the test ban was provided by rising public anxiety over the magnitude of nuclear tests, particularly tests of new thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs), and the resulting nuclear fallout.
