Detailed explanation-1: -Three key features defined the Cold War: 1) the threat of nuclear war, 2) competition over the allegiance (loyalty) of newly independent nations, and 3) the military and economic support of each other’s enemies around the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -As World War II transformed both the United States and the USSR, turning the nations into formidable world powers, competition between the two increased.
