Essay - The Cold War There are Two Things that We Need...

The Cold War

***** are two things that we need to refer in this explanation. First of all, we need to determine whether the confrontation between ***** United States and the Soviet Union was a war and, if so, what kind of war was it, on what plans ***** it being fought and how it transformed itself into a "cold war," as it is nowadays currently referred to.

In my opinion, the ***** War was a war in ***** theoretical sense of the term. Indeed, it was first of ***** a confrontation.
