I think the Cold War went global because of technology. Advancement in communications, improved weaponry with longer ranges, as well as advancement in mass communications all contributed to the Cold War going global. That may or may not be the answer you were looking for, but it's a start. The Cold War was always global.... The Cold War itself was the struggle for global supremacy between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both superpowers tried to find allies to balance each other around the world. Balance of power politics have a long tradition. If one nation grew too powerful, a coalition of other nations would band together to prevent the one from getting too strong. A direct conflict between the two powers would have been unthinkable-nuclear weapons meant any large war would have been catastrophic. So, we changed the game-fighting proxy wars in various third world nations such as Korea and Vietnam, Angola, Guatemala, Cuba, and many other places.
