As seen throughout the cold war, one of the most involved countries has been the United States.
It all began in WWII in which the United States and the Soviet Union worked together as allies.
The two would agree to work togeter as long as they are able to take down their common enemy Germany.
Once WWII ended the two would begin to be enemies once again. This would be the beginning of the Cold War. It was nobodies fault for the cold war happening some say that it was bound to happen eventually.
The USA would create a plan containment which should help contain the ideas of communism so it does not spread.
Soon the Usa would then begin to develop more nuclear weapons to use against the Russians. This would then begin the Arms Race. The two sides would race trying to figure out who could make the better atomic weapon the fastest.
The chance of a nuclear war was at an all time high. The arms race then extended towards space causing a competition in which who can launch the first satellite towards space. Then the first man on the moon. The USA would win for the first man on the moon.
At the close of the Cold War Communism would fall and The USA and Capitalism would win the Cold War
