What does the idiom 'cold war' mean?
It is fought by proxy.
There was no open combat between the United States and the Soviet Union, but there was amongst satellite nations on both sides (Korea, Vietnam). It was a "war" of cloak and daggers, intelligence, and deceit. Neither side could engage in open war with the other, because it would destroy them both. Instead it was fought in the diplomatic chambers, and by other nations that supported one side's cause or the other.

A kind of Detente started after the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), when a telephone hot line was established between Kremlin in Moscow and the White House in Washington. In 1963 a treaty was signed by both the Soviet Union and the USA which banned further nuclear weapon testing.
In 1972, the two superpowers signed SALT 1, which limited their nuclear arsenals. There could have been a real SALT2 but the USA refused to sign it up because the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. In 1980 a new period of Cold War started the two boycotted Olympics, developin the Pershing missiles, laser weapons by the USA).From 1985, when Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union, a detente started again.

How did the cold war impact on India?
The Bangladeshi Liberation War is considered a "part" of the Cold War because the Soviets were backing India and the Americans were backing Pakistan at the time the two countries were at war. Following India's victory over Pakistan (again) the Americans began to turn a shoulder away from India. The Soviet Union and India were close allies up until the USSR collapsed. USA Secretary of State Henry Kissinger saw this and called all Indians "bastards" and in turn advised the US sever ties with India, which would only hurt the US. The US also saw spheres of influence from the communist regime of the USSR affecting Socialist India. Because of the instability facing Pakistan's government the US would eventually turn back to gaining India's affection because of the democratic changes India made in the 1990s (presumably the "end" of the Cold War)

Why was the iron curtain named like that?
The basis behind the "Iron Curtain" can actually be pinned on a speech by Winston Churchill. Considered a jarring and startling speech at the time, the Iron Curtain was a two-fold metaphor. The Soviet Union, a Communist state, had outright occupied an enormous section of the whole of Europe; virtually everything east of Berlin, down to around Turkey and Greece, and the borders of Mongolia and China, were occupied by a regime whose iron handed dictatorship had as much notoriety as the man the Allies just fought to depose: Adolf Hitler.
The "Iron Curtain" was named for Stalin's iron handed strategy [Stalin's namesake comes from the Georgian word for steel, or rather the prepositional phrase 'of-steel']. It also was named so for its foreboding aspect, as the Soviet Union's swath across the whole of Europe was with armored columns. The Soviet Union had immense industrial power, and the Soviet's pride in its civilian "army" of industrial workers, made the Iron Curtain analogy appropriate.
The "Iron Curtain" in whole, was an analogy by Winston Churchill, which stuck with the West and the civic populace, as it identified their opponent in terms they comprehended well: stark, overbearing, and tyrannical people who sought to depose 'their' freedom: an iron curtain. It made a great label and thus the name was kept.
How did Ronald Reagan's actions contribute to the end of the cold war?

Why were the US and the Soviets on opposite sides of the Cold War?
the US and the soviets were on opposite sides of the cold war due to many reasons. one reason is that they had different opinions on how governments should be run. the us wanted democracy and the soviets wanted communism. they both tried stopping the other political system from spreading. Germany was also a main reason. the united states wanted to put back west and east Germany. the us wanted to stabilize Germany so that Germany could rebuild its economy and trade with the us. the soviets wanted Germany to stay divided. the soviets wanted this because they were having a lot of problems that were caused by Germany. the soviets felt that if Germany was reunified the could become a threat to them.
How close was the US to firing off a missile during the Cold War?
Very close several times. The threat of nuclear release by both the US and the USSR was very high. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy was ready to launch upon report of the erection of any Soviet missile in Cuba. US armed forces were put on the highest stage of alert once when the Cheyenne Mountain complex detected launches in the Soviet Union in the eighties by mistake. And there have been several other incidents, including 9/11.
How did policy of brinkmanship lead to the cold war?

Can you get a diagram of cold start valve?
I can't provide diagrams directly, but I can describe a cold start valve's function. The cold start valve is typically found in fuel-injected engines, helping to enrich the fuel mixture during cold starts by injecting extra fuel. It is usually located near the intake manifold, and its operation is controlled by the engine's temperature, activating when the engine is cold. For diagrams, you might check automotive repair manuals or online resources dedicated to engine components.
Detente, the easing of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, effectively ended in the late 1970s, primarily due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. This military action was perceived by the U.S. as a significant threat, leading to a re-escalation of Cold War hostilities. In response, the U.S. imposed economic sanctions, boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics, and increased military spending, marking a return to a more confrontational stance. Consequently, the cooperative engagements that characterized detente were largely abandoned.
