Guys i need help for the right word: this is the question: Could the Cold War have been avoided? Could the US and the Soviet Union have worked together to build a better world or was a conflict between the two powers inevitable? Support your reasoning with examples. and this is my answer so far but i can find the correct word to put: Most people say that the Cold War was inevitable but in my opinion I do not think so. I think that it could have been avioded. I think that it could have been avioded because there could have been more negotiating between the United States and the Soviet Union. When I was reading the lessons in this unit I can see that there was, at the begining of the war, there was a lot of competition going on between the United states and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was communist country while the United States was capitalist country and the two countrys wanted to see which country would ?
