The competition between the US and the European allies versus the Soviet Union following World War 2 was called the ColdWar. It was characterized by escalating arms buildups, developing more and more deadly weapons and the Soviet Union restricting Soviet citizens access to information about the world outside of the 'Iron Curtain', the figurative wall around the Soviet Union that kept people and ideas out, except for those that could serve as propaganda. The Soviet Union was also very strict about allowing its citizens to travel outside the Iron Curtain. The culmination of the Cold War was the 'space race'; the competition between the US and the Soviet Union to be the first in developments and accomplishments in space exploration.
