Best Answer

The Cold War began when the Iron Curtain came down in Eastern Europe, as the Soviet Union made so many countries "Soviet satellites". The United States wanted all European countries to have the freedom to choose their own governments. Then the Soviet Union successfully developed their own atom bomb. The war of words between the two nations escalated. The words were the "weapons". No shooting. A "cold" war, not a "hot" (active, shooting) war.
