The cold war mainly arose due to the ideologies of the superpowers involved, the US and the Soviet Union, which we detect from Howard’s analysis. The us promoted ideology capitalism, democracy, and personal freedom while their counterparts promoted communism which focused on a command economy and political oligarch.

With those two extremes, it was inevitable that politics would be influenced. Where the US helped to bring down communism, the USSR sought to deepen its roots. The said struggle was expressed in forms of arms increment, proxy confrontations, and profound diplomatic disharmonies. The Cold War’s reach transcended military confrontation and permeated international relations, international economy, and even culture for many decades.
