Description
This lecture examines the tense moments, miscommunications, and power plays that pushed the world to the brink during the Cold War. You’ll gain insight into how fragile peace truly was—and how close global disaster came. We will explore key flashpoints, including proxy wars, the nuclear standoff, and the space race, to understand the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and the lasting impact of this decades-long period of geopolitical tension.
