Plz urgent define the term “cold war”. why were both the soviet union and the united states fearful of starting an outright war with each other? detail one event or situation that brought both sides close to nuclear war. (ex. cuban missile crisis) at least a paragraph

The Soviet Union and United States were so fearful because of M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) which means if one launched a nuke, the other would launch a nuke, and so on with there Allies. One event that brought us to that point was President Richard Nixon's , Mad Man Theory which he purposely acted as irrational and volatile as possible so the Soviet Union would avoid provoking the United States. At one point the United States Millitary was ordered to had fully armed bombers with thermonuclear weapons fly patterns right on the edge of the Soviet border, which made the Soviets ready to push the button if it started to fly(even by accident) over there border from fear.

Hey the answer is the politics of the southern united states generally refers to the political landscape of the southern united states. due to the region's unique cultural and historical heritage, including slavery, the south has been involved in many political issues. some of these issues include states' rights, reconstruction, the civil rights movement and social conservatism. from the 1870s to the 1960s, the region was referred to as the solid south, due to their consistent support for democrats in all elective offices. as a result, its congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many congressional committees. in presidential politics, the south began to move away from national democratic loyalties with the dixiecrat movement of 1948 and the barry goldwater presidential campaign of 1964. among white southerners, democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, followed much later at the state and local levels.
