FYI Eaglewings, the cold war was a result of the nuclear arms race.
Cold War ..... Arms Race..Tell me the difference
Cold War - Wikipedia
"The
Cold War was a state of political and military tension after
World War II between powers in the
Western Bloc (the
United States, its
NATO allies and others) and powers in the
Eastern Bloc (the
Soviet Union and its
satellite states). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period between 1947, the year the
Truman Doctrine (a U.S. policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism) was announced, and 1991, the year
the Soviet Union collapsed.
The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as
proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against
Nazi Germany, leaving the Soviet Union and the United States as two
superpowers with profound economic and political differences. "
Nuclear arms race - Wikipedia
"The
nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in
nuclear warfare between the
United States, the
Soviet Union, and their respective allies during the
Cold War. During this period, in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles, other countries developed
nuclear weapons, though none engaged in
warhead production on nearly the same scale as the two
superpowers."
There you go. I just fixed some of the damage your teachers did to you.
