The correct answer is A) The two sides never directly engaged in hostilities.

The struggle between the Communist and the West was called the Cold War in that the two sides never directly engaged in hostilities.

The Cold War was the term given to the permanent disputes between the Soviet Union and the United States after World War II. It was a hostile and tense period in the relationships of these two countries.

The Soviet Union wanted to spread Communism all over the world, as it already did in countries he controlled such as East Germany, Poland, Romania, or Hungary. The United States wanted to stop the spread of Communism and both countries were behind conflicts such as the War in Vietnam of the Korean War. The world was on the brink of another war during the Cuban Missile conflicts in October 1962.
