Why do we call the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union the Cold War? Why did it never become a real war?

If the Cold War escalated, it would have been a nuclear war. The world was still pretty fresh off of WW2 and the last thing they needed were to giant nations throwing nuclear bombs across the world. Instead of the two superpowers fighting a nuclear war, they instead fought loads of mini proxy wars. Examples of these are the Angolan Civil war, Korean War and the Vietnam war. Sometimes they did get directly involved but that was rare. In short, the Cold War was not a conventional one, but a silent one that occurred across the world where two superpowers expanded their influence until one collapsed.

What was daily life like in Ancient Rome? And Explain the growth and impact of Christianity.
Marta_Voda [28]

Christianity began in the Roman Empire. When Christianity was new, Christians were hunted as criminals.  They refused to worship Roman gods and that was against the law.

Even though Christianity was against the law, its numbers or followers grew rapidly.  Christians were always trying to convert people.  While some Christians were rich, most of the converts in Rome were from the poorer section.  There were two reasons for this.

First, Christians promised that if you lived your life right you went to heaven when you died.  In the other Roman religion, only the gods could live in heaven.  Everyone else was consigned to the underworld.

Second, every Christian considered themselves equal to every other Christian.  There was no nobility or higher caste. 

Hope I helped! :D
