    The Cold War started due to disagreements between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. over whether Europe should be democratic or communist. This led to decades of tension and an arms race between the two superpowers. A key event was the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the U.S. discovered the Soviet Union was building nuclear missile bases in Cuba. After negotiations, both sides agreed to remove the missiles to avoid nuclear conflict. The Cold War had long term consequences, including constant fear of nuclear attacks globally and countries having to align with either communism or capitalism.
