 * The Cold war was one of the most dangerous confrontations in human history. Not only did two of the most powerful and significant countries threaten each other with the prospect of another World War, but for the first time, the world faced utter annihilation at the hands of their nuclear arsenals. **


 * You are inheritors to this world that the United States and the Soviet Union have left us, with all the conflict, suspicion and nuclear weapons still present, although the Cold War is very much over. **


 * What you should take from these activities is that fear, mistrust, and pride can in many ways impact upon nations in the same way it impacts upon people – creating division and conflict. **


 * In hindsight, it was pure blind luck that the world was not forced to face the catastrophe of World War III. In hindsight, it was pure blind luck that war was averted and this makes the Cold War so important to know and understand for our world today. **
