The Cold War threatened the independence of new nations. Since the Soviet Union and the United States were competing for political influence, many newly independent nations were subject to take over either by the Soviet Union or the USA. However, there was also a positive impact to some newly independent countries because the two antagonists of the Cold War would support whatever country they saw fit. Therefore, some new countries gained support from larger nations.
This is just one of the many possible answers, since so many nations were affected differently. All the same, I hope this helps. :)

Answer:
A ziggurat is a temple of ancient Mesopotamia that has the shape of a pyramid. The design of a ziggurat goes from a simple base with a temple on top. The base could be rectangular, oval or square. The ziggurat's core - the part not exposed to the weather - was built of sun-dried bricks, while the outer part was covered with cooked bricks, which could also be vitrified in different colors; the access was made by stairs located on the sides of the ziggurat or spiraling up to the top. One of the best preserved is that of Choga Zanbil in present-day Iran, in the territory between Iraq and Iran. The oldest preserved ziggurat is that of Kashan dating back to the third millennium BC.
