What will happen if the people during the cold war were exposed to nuclear radiation?
Many were exposed (I was while a child). The exact effects depend on dose rate and period of exposure. Low exposures produce negligible effects. Medium exposures can produce radiation sickness, but the subject recovers without treatment. Exposures near the LD50 level will produce about 50% death, unless intensive medical treatments are given. Very high exposure produce 100% deaths within minutes.
If dose rates are very low, surprisingly high total doses can be received over long periods with no obvious effects.
It is believed that even at very low dose rates (even below natural background, which has always been there), a rise in cancer frequency will be observed. However proving this is difficult.

What was the cold war who was it between and what happened?
The term "cold war" implied the opposite of a "hot war" or "shooting war" and is applied to the period of global political and military competition after World War II between the US and the Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). It included strategic moves by each side and their allies, notably NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries and other Soviet client states. The period began in 1945 and ended with the breakup of the USSR in 1991, although it included more cooperation and less tension during the later years. Both the US and Russia maintain stockpiles of nuclear bombs and missiles built for "defensive" (deterrent) purposes during the Cold War.
After World War II, the two countries emerged as the major powers (superpowers) of the world, each with its postwar sphere of influence. These two never fought directly, but engaged in several so-called proxy wars (Korea, Vietnam). The countries' military, strategic, economic, technological, and even moral relations and decisions were made with the opponent in mind. Each created its own group of friendly nations, and sought to lure countries to their side by aid. Beginning with Harry Truman, the US sought to "contain" communism, which represented potential allies for the Soviets (or, after 1948, for the Chinese).
The most salient feature of the Cold War was a nuclear standoff, in which each side developed advanced weaponry, leading to the policy of MAD or Mutual Assured Destruction. Neither side could risk attacking the other because of the potential for obliteration of both sides by huge arsenals of thermonuclear bombs and missiles. A related aspect was espionage, beginning with the theft of atomic secrets by spies for the USSR. The CIA and KGB were known to use every conceivable means to obtain classified material from the other side and their allies.

However, the fact that the cease fire had been publicly announced in both North and South Vietnam prior to the Tet Lunar New Year Celebrations, meant that the public frowned down upon the North Vietnamese as they had broken the cease fire agreement.
The only way that the Tet offensive was effective was the fact that the attack was publicised in America showing that the North Vietnamese could launch such a large attack when the US government had convince the US public that they were not capable of such a large scale attack.

Polarization is the presence or existence of two opposite forces. For example, a magnet is polarized -- it has two opposite poles.The concept of polarization is often used to describe the two opposing sides in the Cold War: the Communist Bloc and the non-communist Free World. The two sides are opposites. The Free World is made up of, for the most part, capitalist democracies. The Communist Bloc is made up of communist dictatorships.
