2Section AThe most dangerous and unstable phase of the cold warBefore cold conflictended in the last decade, is right that it had entered into a dangerous and unstable phase. For instance, first hydrogen test of bomb that was done in the Atoll Eniwetokwithin the Islands of Marshall provided a proof of how the nuclear age could be so frightening. The trial formed a 25-square mile fireball that could vaporize the entire island, blowing a huge hole in the ocean and its power destroyed half of the Manhattan. Some other dangerous events during this time were the subsequent American and Soviet tests that spewed very toxic radioactive materials into the atmosphere. All these events as presented at the end of the cold warshow how dangerous direction the world had taken. The American domestic life had been put into alarms as people ever were issued with threats of nuclear annihilation. Space exploration presents another dramatic arena during the cold war competition, and this brought the world into the entry of a dangerous phase. In 1957, the world’s initial artificial as well ashumanlyitem was placed in the orbit launched of earth by a Soviet R-7 intercontinental missile. The launch surprised many but did not please the Americans as this was done by the Russian. The Americans felt not to lose too much ground to the Soviets and therefore started their space exploration, as Americans feared the overwhelming force of the R-7 missile that seemed to have possibilities of bring the nuclear warhead into the US.By 1950, the Soviet Union in its future war is viewed to have equalized with the United States of America as evidenced by the atomic air offensive by U.S that could not manage in defeating the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was also mostly pushing the western abilities away and far from Europe along with the Middle East. At beginning, just immediately after Second World War, both Americans and the planners of Soviet military was viewing bomb made

The relationship amid the Soviet Union together with the western authorities worsened in first 5 years after Second World WarI, and the function of nuclear devices was fully adopted in battle. In this case, Truman did not threaten the Soviet Union, but by the fact that there was a nuclear weapon, that was an automatic provoking. The fact that they were threatening each other with nuclear weapons; this provides clear evidence that the cold world war opened a dangerous and unstable phase for the world.The ongoing conflicts ever witnessed between the Eastern European countries threaten the stability of the newly established European order. There have been serious tensions that occur between the Hungary and the Romania regarding the Romania’s treatment. If the Soviet Union was not present in the region (Eastern Europe) both Romania and the Hungary would have entered into a war over this issue, and this might erupt a war between the two countries in future and hence dangerous and unstable phase brought during the last decade of the cold world war. Warfare that is always witnessed in the Eastern Europe generally would lead to a significantsuffering to the Eastern Europeans.It is also unclear to predict whether there will be a precise balance of the military power in the Eastern European and hence causing the unstable phase of post-cold world conflict. It is unclear also the Soviet Union might regain its powers soon after coming out from the Eastern Europe. In this case, it is evident that the Soviet Union would be stronger than Germany. Probably, Germany and the Soviet Union might equalize in the powers. The only problem will be in the non-nuclear area of Europe, as they would be exposed to these dangers since the security on such zones would only remain with the massive armies, and in such a case, it cannot
