In the Cold War, the United States (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were at odds with each other because of strongly different worldviews. The USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government. Initially, the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not. (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.) But once the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers. The two nations kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles. It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction. John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan. Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain communist aggression when it occurred. Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship." In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art." He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
Eventually (after decades of the arms race and tensions) the US and USSR would pursue policies of detente, which included pledges to reduce their nuclear arsenals. The arms race and solving the arms race were constant issues affecting the Cold War.
It would be separation of powers because only Congress has the authority to make laws.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The concept of European nationalism was still in its infancy during the eighteenth century. What the Hapsburg monarchs had done to foster a common national sentiment among the people of the Austrian empire was to create a unity sentiment in the different territories to foster a kind of bond between them and the Austrian monarchy.
The Hapsburg empire constantly grew, as we know the kingdom developed through the years. The monarchy developed effective central administrative states buck what lacked was the sense of identity of the many territories that belonged to the kingdom. That lack of "common bond" did not allow the Hapsburg kings to instill the common culture and traditions in the majority of towns of the kingdom.
