the cold warThe 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 allies in the Warsaw Pact. The Cold War is where the Cuban Missile Crisis happened that almost killed all of the world due to Nuclear warfare that could have happened. Another thing that happened was the first satellite was shot into space to orbit the Earth by Russia that was called Sputnik. There was tensions, but war never happened, Communism was a big no no that America didn't like about the Soviets. They went through the Korean War during this era too because of there tensions and etc from after World War Two . This time period was important because, we almost could have died from nuclear warfare, due to our flexible response thanks to Eisenhower and also it was the least bloodiest "war" we've ever had.
