With two formidable nations armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons, one could only wait and see which one would break down first. To go for the nuclear button was only starting a fight (war).
The cold war was NEVER FOUGHT! The cold war was an arm's race. If there had really been a war; it never would have been called a "Cold War." It would have been called WWIII (an atomic war).
Communist superpowers; cold war. If not for them, 'Nam could've been "Desert Stormed."
There was no religious aspect to the Cold War -(what have you been reading )
during the cold war latin America was overpowered by communism, the u.s feared communism would over power them so they sent the cia to resolve the problem
Theres only one cause; nukes. If there hadn't been atomic weapons, there wouldn't have been a cold war.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved by Soviet withdrawal. The Korean War was resolved by an Armistice. The Vietnam War was resolved by a communist victory.

The cold war was a "Mental War"; if it hadn't been, it would have been a real shooting "hot war." The mental anquish during the cold war consisted of not knowing when the "Mushroom Clouds" would appear. Nuclear bombs exploding in your neighborhood.
They would either back down, as during the Cuban Missile Crisis; or fight a limited war (Limited to conventional weapons) such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
World War 1 was not a cold war because of all the people that died the only time that there has been a cold war was after world war 2 and that was before the Korean war happened i hope this helps
The "Cold War" is the only evidence needed. If there hadn't been a Nuclear Stand-Off, in this case with an enemy which went by the name of "Communists"...there wouldn't have been a cold war. No Cold War? Then there wouldn't have been a US fought Vietnam War.
First, there have only been two world wars. And no, the Cold War is the war against communist U.S.S.R.
