Answer:
If the Cold War between the two superpowers, America and the Soviet Union, never ended the world would most likely be seeing either a terrible nuclear war or extreme tensions between these two nations. The end of the cold war was considered to be at the signing of the SALT between the U.S and the Soviet Union, there would have never been an agreement to calm down the nuclear tests that eventually settled the threat of nuclear warfare. Because we are much more advanced in nuclear technologies than we were at these times, we would be in serious trouble of ending the world by nuclear warfare. Not only would there be the threat of nuclear warfare but, there would be serious tensions between other third world countries and the two superpowers. Many wars would have been fought for the liberation of these countries from communism and the restoration or application of Democracy. (America fighting for Democracy and The Soviet Union fighting for Communism.)
