While they where in war the Soviet Union sent the first rocket into space; the Americans heard about this and they too sent a rocket into space. This was beginning of the space race they wanted to see who will be the first one to land on the moon. The second reason for the cold war is the nuclear race to see who could have the most atomic bombs . Well I know that Americans weren't the first one to send a rocket into space but we where the first one to have walked on the moon. So we have won that race; the atomic bomb was a time of 100 days of fear. They feared that if we keep making bombs that we could destroy the world with so many bombs. Both of the Americans and the Soviet Union made around 40,000 nuclear warheads in the cold war.
