The Cold War remained cold primarily due to the presence of nuclear weapons, which created a balance of power through mutually assured destruction, deterring direct military conflict between the superpowers. Diplomatic efforts, such as arms control agreements and negotiations, also played a critical role in managing tensions. Additionally, the ideological rivalry between capitalism and communism was largely expressed through proxy wars, espionage, and political maneuvering rather than open warfare. This complex interplay of deterrence, diplomacy, and indirect conflict helped maintain the Cold War's non-violent nature.
