The OSS during WWII was the first Central intelligence gathering agency the US had. When it was disbanded at the end of the war, it was quickly realized that the existing world situation (Cold War) required the continuance of a world intelligence gathering agency, thus in 1947 the CIA was born.
The CIA was created in 1947
During the Cold War, several government agencies were established, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1947, which focused on intelligence gathering and covert operations. The National Security Agency (NSA) was created in 1952 to oversee signals intelligence and information assurance. Additionally, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 to develop advanced technologies for military use, particularly in response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik.
The gap was entirely perceived. CIA figures reported a clear US advantage in the number of missiles; padded figures were presented to the public during the Cold War so that further development and expenditure would be allowed.
The "Father of the CIA" was US Army Major General William J. Donovan, who formed and headed the OSS during WWII.
