The Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union lasted for decades and resulted in anti-communist suspicions and international incidents that led the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear disaster. The Cold War was an on-going political rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies that developed after World War II. The two powers did not fight or used weapons against each other; it was fought through Nuclear Arms race, proxy wars, ideological influence and propaganda war. It, therefore, had a great impact on the world. Since the end of the war up until its subsequent century, the Cold War had many effects on nation-states and targeted them in both economic and social ways. The Cold War shaped American foreign policy and political ideology, impacted the domestic economy and the presidency, and affected the personal lives of Americans creating a climate of expected conformity and normalcy. By the end of the 1950's, dissent slowly increased reaching a climax by the late 1960's. The presentation gives further in-depth knowledge on the topic.
