Solution
The nature of the Cold War explained as follows:
- Conventional and especially nuclear weapons build-up and an arms race.
- Intense propaganda, including the suppression of accurate or balanced information in both competing states; in particular, the West tried to depict the USSR as a 'totalitarian' equivalent of Nazi Germany, while the USSR painted capitalism as an inherently warmongering system.
- No common ground or successful negotiations, and a deep division between the tvr.o camps across the 'Iron Curtain'.
- The conflict between capitalism and communism, which often spilled over developing countries.
- tightening of controls and repression of dissidents in both camps.
- East-West conflict was paramount.
