Nuclear weapons WERE the cold war. No Nukes, No Cold War.

nuclear warfare
The war escalated from a guerrilla war into a conventional war (minus nuclear weapons).
The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States, the Soviet Union, and their respective allies during the Cold War. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, and continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, the issues of proliferation and possible use for terrorism still remain in the early 21st century.
