Detailed explanation-1: -The Cold War affected domestic policy two ways: socially and economically. Socially, the intensive indoctrination of the American people led to a regression of social reforms. Economically, enormous growth spurred by industries related to war was aided by heavy government expansion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The effects of the Cold War on Africa were stifling. In many respects. It was a second scramble for Africa. The great powers (in this case the Soviet Union and the U.S.) wanted Africa simply to prevent each other from possessing it African economic and political development was hindered; independence was often delayed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Africa and other Third World countries joined the Non-Aligned Movement in their bid to assert their independence and improve their political economy. This became a tool for national leaders to play in international politics with the two ideological blocs of the Cold War.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Cold War and decolonization were also linked by the actions of the two superpowers. The US said that it supported democracy and free markets. The Soviet Union promised to liberate workers from capitalist, imperial rule. That meant both the US and the USSR could be recruited to help anti-colonial movements.
