Detailed explanation-1: -The term “Cold War” became a shorthand to describe the ideological struggle between capitalism in the West and communism in the East. American journalist Walter Lippmann popularized the term in a series of articles in 1947 as nations chose sides in the standoff.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fall of the Berlin Wall The Berlin Wall became a potent symbol of the Iron Curtain-the ideological and physical divide that separated the democratic West from the communist East during the Cold War.
Detailed explanation-3: -Development of the arms race This led to a race between the two superpowers to amass the most powerful nuclear weapons with the most effective delivery systems. In 1953, both the USA and the USSR were testing hydrogen bombs and it appeared to the Americans that the Soviets had caught up technologically.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was called the Cold War because neither the Soviet Union nor the United States officially declared war on each other. However, both sides clearly struggled to prevent the other from spreading its economic and political systems around the globe.
