Answer 1

Answer: The Cold War.

Explanation:

A term in history that refers to the political conflict of east and west that never grew into open armed conflict.

The Cold War entailed a race in arms and technological dominance to gain supremacy over a rival. During the Cold War, billions of dollars were spent for this purpose. The Cold War was marked by constant tension among the conflicting parties, and on several occasions, intolerance reached a point of heat and thus threatened the world with a new global war.
