Cold War

Cold War is a well-established phrase that denotes a period of tension between the USSR and the United States in the second half of the 20th century, against the backdrop of the nuclear arms race and Nikita Khrushchev’s promises to “bury you” and “show Kuzkin’s mother.” The Cold War period lasted from 1946 to 1989 with varying degrees of danger and completely sunk into oblivion in 1990-1991 with the unification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union into small pieces.

The Cold War was based on ideological contradictions and mutual enmity between the communist regime of the USSR and Western democracies, who saw in this regime the main threat to their security, and therefore actively defended themselves from Soviet militarism as we can read a lot about in https://blablawriting.com/essay-examples/cold-war where there are a lot of papers on the topic. Soviet propaganda, in turn, portrayed the United States and its allies as the main potential aggressors, which further added fuel to the fire of the approaching nuclear war, which was only miraculously avoided.
