cold war and nuclear weapons?

Question

in 1945-1970 what was the impact of the cold war and nuclear weapons on american society having to do with American capitalism/individuality vs soviet communism/conformity??

Answer 1

I lived through this period. There was the constant threat that something could happen that would trigger World War III. It could have happened intentionally or unintentionally. It would have been the end of civilization if not humanity. There were several crises between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Probably the most dramatic was the Cuban Missile Crises in 1962. The Cold War and its "arms race" was always there. Both sides were afraid that the other would pass them in the quantity and quality of weapons. I think that it was a miricle that we made it through the 20th century!. I hope that this has been a help to you.

Answer 2
