I know throughout history local animals have played a part in the fighting for at least one of the sides so what effect (if any) did Polar bears have in the cold war?
Thanks in advance...

Um.....wow.
Okay...first of all, Polar Bears cannot be domesticated. If you're referring to general animal use in wars it's the standard horses, dogs, pigeons...
And also, there was no Cold War as in...fighting...
From Wiki:
In 1947 the term "Cold War" was introduced by Americans Bernard Baruch and Walter Lippmann to describe emerging tensions between the two former wartime allies.[1] There never was a direct military engagement between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but there was a half-century of military buildup, and political battles for support around the world, including significant involvement of allied and satellite nations.
So....I'd pay close attention to your history classes and good luck on that whole graduation thing! :-D

Um, it was the cold war. that doesnt mean it was literally cold, but that no actual fighting occured. Polar bears?? what would polar bears have to do with a war, especially one with no fighting??
No, silly, there were no polar bears.

Actually, yes they were.
As you may or may not know, Polar Bears are the only ones around who know how to make both those delicious "Icee" brand slush drinks as well as "Klondike Bars". As soon as the Russians saw those, they knew the American way was best and the Soviet Union promptly fell.
God Bless Polar Bears!

yes, they were involved in the Urran-Yddyutt conflict which occured just north of thikkscull county in Alaska, the Soviets were using their newly developed land-submarines-- which were like regular submarines only instead of going underwater, they could go on land-- and the Urrans were a tribe of penguins that were trained to run these land-submarines, unfortunatly for them, the US employed the help of the Yddyutt polar bears which, did what polar bears were genetically breed to do: eat the penguins.
as you might have already guessed, the outcome was a disaster for the penguins, who were only armed with snowballs. of the 4500 penguins deployed, only 5 survived, 3000 were swallowed whole, 495 were biten in half, and the rest were never accounted for.

no! the cold war wasn't made up of battles. there were just political problems and small fights breaking out during it. where did you get the idea of polar bears? they couldn't be in russia if that's what you're thinking
