The Cold War

At the end of WWII Soviet Russia had began work on their own nuclear missiles. this brought the constant threat of nuclear war to the U.S. and a distrust of the Soviet Union that would last for over forty years. This feeling was strongest in the 1950s because of the Korean War, where the Soviet Union helped North Korea try to take over South Korea. This ended in basically with no resolution but reinforced the U.S, fear of Russia.
