No, but they were the center of it. The Cold War was never a real war, and there was no fighting o nuclear exchange involved. Basically, it was a time of tension between the superpowers. The Arms Race and the Space Race contributed to this tenson. A notable event was the Cuban Missle Crisis, where the Soviets were storing missiles in Cuba in case of an attack on the US. The US threatened to launch ballistic missiles at them from Turkey, so the Soviets removed the Cuban Missiles. Long story short, the Cold War was a stand-off, like two people pointing guns at each other to see whos going to crack first and start the fight.
