United States vs russia

Answer 1

Yes, there was a 'Cold War' between the Soviet Union (Russia) and the USA from 1946 to 1990. It was called a cold war because the relations between the Russians and the USA were very cold, and it was almost an undeclared war.

Answer 2

Relations between the U.S. and Russia deteriorated after World War II, and resulted in what was called the "Cold War" of the 1950s and 1960s. Russia had been an ally of the U.S. during the war, but when it appeared to Americans that the Soviets were returning to their expansionist attitude and trying to spread communism to other parts of the world, the relationship between the two nations grew increasingly hostile.

The U.S. government also was concerned at the build-up of weaponry by the Soviets, and fear that the Russians might launch an attack increased (American children of the 1950s were taught how to "duck and cover" in the event of a nuclear attack); the American government's anti-communist rhetoric also intensified during this period, especially during the McCarthy era of the early 1950s. And although no official war broke out between the two nations, there were frequent threats and a belief that America needed to remain vigilant because Russia could not be trusted.
