Belarus’s Nuclear activity

This course focuses on the nuclear age. we’re doing a simulation were every student has to research a different country, mine is Belarus. Below is my professors requirements for the paper.

Researching your country for the Simulation and Simulation Paper

1. First, learn some background information about the role you will be
playing. For states: Recommended source: CIA Factbook
https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/
2. Pay attention to which actors yours is friendly with and hostile towards
3. Next, dig deeper into the nuclear history of your country (many countries
that do not have nuclear weapons have civilian nuclear facilities and may
have entertained the notion of building nuclear weapons). Recommended

Clearly there is a lot of information out there. And, as you might suspect there is
much more information about the countries that have nuclear weapons. If you
are representing a country that has never had nuclear weapons, you need to
identify your country with respect to its relationship to nuclear disarmament.
The links posted above will provide a lot of information that you will find useful.
But, most of the material is factual and your paper must interpret the data. For
that you should draw upon the work done by nuclear scholars.
Each of the sites that are listed on this page are considered legitimate sources.
HOWEVER, your paper must also draw upon work done by academic scholars.
Other random websites you get via google, might or might not be considered
scholarly sources
