Solution
The US and USSR were engaged in direct wars.
Explanation:
The Cold War was the open but limited rivalry that developed after World War II between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as their respective allies. The Cold War was fought on political, economic, and propaganda fronts, with only limited use of weapons. The term was coined by the English writer George Orwell in a 1945 article to describe what he predicted would be a nuclear standoff between "two or three monstrous super-states, each possessed of a weapon capable of wiping out millions of people in a few seconds." It was first used in the United States in 1947 by American financier and presidential adviser Bernard Baruch in a speech at the State House in Columbia, South Carolina.
