During the Cold war, there were constant threats and tensions, but never a direct confrontation between the two opposing superpowers: the US and the URSS, which leaded the Western capitalist bloc and the Eastern communist bloc respectively.

Although both countries had access to nuclear weapons, those from the US were even more sophisticated. <u>This is why president Eisenhower could use the threat of massive retaliation to prevent attacks.</u> He claimed that the US would respond to any attack by retaliating in much greater force. Such attacks, involving nuclear weapons, would led to destruction of the two nations and the whole world. This is why a direct attack was avoided and, instead, the two powers participated in proxy wars as opponents, such as in the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

Why did forming corporations allow big business to increase in power and profitability?
anastassius [24]
First, governments in most countries have created laws against monopolies for large corporations, which prevents that corporations have influence or power to weaken or do away with the smaller companies that are forming and gaining power and profitability. Second, large corporations use this as a way to gain competitiveness and revitalize the market, since it is known that where competition does not exist, it falls into mediocrity. Thus, a market where there are several companies that compete, keep alive the economic system, and there is always the possibility for large corporations, to buy the rival company, and gain with all their human capital, ideas, brands and fame of the company. Something like this was seen when Facebook buys WhatsApp for 21.8 billion dollars.
