The US and the Soviet Union came close to war during the Cold War primarily due to ideological differences, nuclear arms competition, and geopolitical tensions. Key events like the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear conflict, as the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba was perceived as an existential threat by the US. Additionally, conflicts such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War further exacerbated tensions, as both nations sought to expand their influence globally. The fear of mutually assured destruction kept the Cold War from escalating into direct military conflict, but the risk of war remained a constant concern.
