Aesop was an Ancient Greek writer who lived in the 6th century BC in Athens, Greece, and is credited for writing a series of stories named "Aesop's fables".
These stories consist of fairy tales in which the characters are depicted as animals, and their plots compare the natural behavior of these animals with human moral.
My guess on this question would be : Cold War .During Cold War USSR and USA were investing huge money in defenses and military technology to show each other they are powerful. Though its called Cold 'War' there was no war. There were no fighting. Just show.
