Further explanation

The Cold War is a term for a period of political and military tension between the Western World, led by the United States and its NATO allies, and the Communist World, led by the Soviet Union and its satellite allies. This event began after the Allies' success in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II, which then left the United States and the Soviet Union as two superpowers in the world with huge ideological, economic and military differences. The Soviet Union, together with the countries in Eastern Europe it occupied, formed the Eastern Bloc. The post-war recovery process in Western Europe was facilitated by the US Marshall Plan program, and to counter it, the Soviet Union then also formed COMECON along with its Eastern allies. The United States formed the NATO military alliance in 1949, while the Soviet Union also formed the Warsaw Pact in 1955. Some countries chose to side with one of these two superpowers, while others chose to remain neutral by establishing the Non-Aligned Movement.

This event was called the Cold War because the two sides had never been involved in direct military action, but each party possessed nuclear weapons which could cause great destruction. The Cold War also resulted in high tensions which eventually triggered regional military conflicts such as the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949), Korean War (1950-1953), Suez Crisis (1956), Berlin Crisis 1961, Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), Vietnam War ( 1959-1975), the Yom Kippur War (1973), the Afghanistan War (1979-1989), and the Soviet Air Korean Flight 007 (1983) shooting. Instead of engaging in conflict directly, both parties competed through military coalitions, spread ideologies and influences, provided assistance to client countries, espionage, large-scale propaganda campaigns, nuclear races, attracted neutral nations, competed in sports international, and technological competition such as the Space Race. The US and Soviet Union also competed in various proxy wars; in Latin America and Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union aided the communist revolution which was opposed by several Western countries, the United States tried to prevent it through sending troops and wars. In order to minimize the risk of nuclear war, both parties agreed to approach détente in the 1970s to ease political tensions.

Answer 2

It may be more useful to say that this vice president Joe Biden is pulled both towards grand project as in the campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons and towards the chastened recalibration as evident in his language on democracy promotion. Biden’s hard-earned skepticism, his knowledge of the region, his zest for verbal combat and the trust that Obama reposed in him have allowed him to play a major role in recasting the terms of debate of nuclear race.In a speech entitled "The Path to Nuclear Security: Implementing the President’s Prague Agenda," Biden described the Administration's strategy for protecting America from nuclear threats by strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, seeking agreement on a new START treaty, preventing nuclear proliferation, stopping nuclear terrorism, and working toward the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons.

Causes are the above treaties mentioned which took place and effect could be peace in the world,non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world,decrease in nuclear terrorism.
