It sure isn't D. One of the reasons the South had trouble during the civil war is that she didn't have enough rail lines. Horses did much of the work the rails did.

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.
