During the Cold War, the Soviet tried to expand communism to Eastern Europe which caused tension between them and the US because the US was a democracy and didn't want communism to spread even more than it already had. All of this ended up causing many political and military struggles around the would. Countries needed economic aid and more weapons for protection. It also caused an increase to military spending which ended up leading to an arms race between the US and the Soviet Union to try to have the best weapons before the other, and ended up presenting danger of a nuclear war.
