The correct answer is: "Because it happened during the Cold War, and the world feared a nuclear war".

The Cold War Era (after WWII and during the second half of the 20th century) was a period or direct rivalry exercised by the US and the URSS against each other, although none of them never dared to undertake a direct attack because both superpowers (and the whole world) feared a nuclear war. They never fought directly but, the two of them, usually got involved in opposite sides in proxy wars such as the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was one of the moments in which the tension between the two superpowers was at the highest point. The US discovered that the URSS has sent missiles to be kept in the territority of its ally, Cuba (that was actually a US enemy too).<u> From Cuba, those missiles could actually reach US soil and this strategical movement undertaken by the URSS was regarded by the US as a direct threat. </u>

How does all quiet on the western front relate to the united states
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In the Unites States, Remarque had a tempestuous affair with the actress Marlene Dietrich, which inspired his novel Arch of Triumph. In 1958, he married another film star, Paulette Goddard. They eventually left the United States and moved to Porto Ranco, Switzerland, where Remarque died on September 25, 1970.

Most of Remarque’s novels deal with political and social upheaval in Europe during the First and Second World Wars. Several of his novels were adapted to film. However, All Quiet on the Western Front remains his masterpiece; none of his other works approaches its critical acclaim and popularity. The novel and its first film adaptation are still influential as antiwar works and important chronicles of World War I. One of the remarkable aspects of the book’s success in England and America is that, unlike most other works dealing with World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front deals with the experiences of German soldiers—detested enemies of the English and Americans during World War I and World War II. That American and English reception of the book was so positive from the outset testifies to its ability to speak for all soldiers who suffered through the horrors of World War I.
