What MOST led to such high tension during the cold war? (communism/containment, space race, cuban missile crisis, etc.) How could this issue have been resolved before becoming a bigger problem?

Communism

Because US and Soviet Union wanted world dominance or a capitalist world (US) or a communist world (Soviet Union).

The Cold War began shortly after World War II, as the United States and the Soviet Union contested political, economic and military hegemony in the world. A direct armed conflict would mean the end of both countries and, probably, of life on planet Earth.

This could have been avoided if no country wanted to rule the world.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.

i believe it to be a democracy
