The Soviet Union and the USA were both trying to decide who was the strongest and cleverest, and being the first to put a man-made object in space brought home huge bragging points.

No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).
Nearly anything you can think of.
The USSR built the Sputnik.
The USSR built the Sputnik.
Sputnik did not use a microprocessor.
