America's fear played a major role in the cold war.

see with our fear we tried to prevent what our fears would become,

such as we were afraid that a nuclear war was going to start, or the communists

would take over the world. so in turn we tried to prevent that by fighting the spread of communism even to the extent of the Vietnam War and making tensions very high

between us and the Soviet Union.
