For me the height of the Cold War was the first Nuclear Test by the Soviet Union on the 29th of August 1949.
This was also probably the start of the 'cold-war' itself.
Before the Soviet Union has tested a live Nuclear Weapon, the United States was flexing it's muscles all over the world based on it's economic and military might.
However, the Soviet Nukes proved that there was another player on the global scene with the same weapons as the United States.
Subsequently Soviet Union couldn't, and in effect did, challenge America's dominance in every corned of the world for the next 40 years.
For me, this precise moment was more important than the 'Cuban Crisis'
They were not just the common people
If you're asking in general then, the area has to have people who share common customs, belief and language.However, this might not entirely be true as there are some countries which have vast diversity and still portray nationalism.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Hmm.
Explanation:
No? Maybe.
I am feeling conflicted here. I want to sacrifice my life so others can have a better one, but I don't know if I am willing to sacrifice my life for random people/person.
To be frank, if the world was going to end and I had to die in order for that not to happen then I would most likely do it. But if I had to die so a small child wouldn't get killed by someone, then most likely not.
(There is a movie about this called, 'Circle')
