E. officially at war with each other

Answer 1

The false statement concerning the Cold War is that it was an inexpensive struggle. It was in fact very costly as both the US and the USSR heavily invested in military capabilities, including the nuclear arms race.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cold War was a protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted for much of the second half of the 20th century. This period was characterized by a significant arms race, including the accumulation of nuclear weapons, proxy wars in various countries, and a competition to extend each superpower's sphere of influence while attempting to contain the other's influence.

The statement "D. it was an inexpensive struggle" is false concerning the Cold War. On the contrary, the Cold War was extremely expensive for both sides, as they invested heavily in military and nuclear capabilities, espionage, and economic support for allied nations. The phrase "E. officially at war with each other" is a key element of the Cold War; although the two superpowers engaged in direct confrontations, they never declared war on each other, thus avoiding direct military confrontation.
