Thank you @RushMyPancake for jarring my bird :) Bird art by Cass: https://www.casswomack.com The Cold War had a very unique origin in that the main adversaries (the United States and the Soviet Union) had just previously been allies in a separate, historically monumental war. Taken at face value, one might hear that sentence and imagine the Cold War took the combatants by surprise, how could friends so quickly become enemies, after all? But the great irony was that not only was the Cold War not a surprise, but both sides knew it was coming. Even when they had been allies. The Cold War was as pure of a war of ideologies as one could get, not a war of armies and weapons, but one of influence and power. The United States sought to align the world with their capitalist economic model while the Soviets put their effort into reinforcing the communist model, this clash of economic ideologies led to a lot of tension, amplified by the fact that if one side was pushed too hard, nukes would follow. That possibility made this war one of the scariest, even though no shots were fired. For as Albert Einstein is often quoted to have said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
