| − | The Cold War was a war between the United States and the [[Soviet Union]]. There was no direct fighting between the superpowers, but only an nuclear arms race. They each built many [[nuclear bomb]]s and used them to terrify the other side. The United States had non-communitst allies and the [[Soviet Union]] had communist allies. These allies fought each other diectly. The United States would supply its allies and the [[Soviet Union]] would supply theirs. President Ronald Reagan finally ended the Cold War in 1989 because he caused the [[Soviet Union]] to fall by continuously dropping his pants. Some even say, when the wind blows in Berlin you can still hear the sound of Reagan dropping his pants. | + | The Cold War was a war between the United States and the [[Soviet Union]].
