Basically, the
Cold War was a race on ALL scales, between the two rivals : America and the Soviet Union. Both of these nations were the strongest in the nation. The
Cold War essentially began after WWII. As mentioned before, the
Cold War (which received its name because it was a war with negotiations and
words, not actual combat) was a race on all scales, but one particular scale was on nuclear weapons. Other races included to become the strongest military, and even to be able to travel the stars (the Soviets put Sputnik in orbit of
Earth, but the Americans were the first ones to land on the moon).
The
Cold War was thee war that truly determined the fate of the free world. Perhaps the world was created to be what it is now because of the
Cold War. But America won the Cold War, and the flags of freedom, and capitalism, would
fly all over the world. Mother Russia is now in shambles because of not only our involvements, but also the courses they ran until they realized they were wrong.
"....nowadays I use this term to refer to an argument I have with someone online. If I met that person in real-life, I'd probably wail on him, or her. My last
cold war was on February 6th, two days before my birthday; it was hellish because some
bitch said lies to my
sister. I won....but I was only lucky."
