The Cold War

The Cold War was given its name by the relationship between primarily the USA and the USSR after World War 2. We were mostly after the dominate international affairs for decades, but many crises. The growing of weapons was what scared most of the people, they saw it leading to Mass Destruction! Note that the USSR at this time was many different countries that now stand alone, they got their freedom after the Cold War. The Cold War was a weird no contact war, we never actually fought with the weapons that were mass produced. The war was more like a rat race to see who could make the weapons the fast and have the most technology. We also fought for our beliefs, there is a reason we were enemies and it was because we were/ are so different. One of the conflicts that we had was the Korean Wa ﻿ r. One of the other events that happened with this war was the Chinese Revolution.
