The cold war was a positive event in history because no one died in this war.

I believe it was negitive because some of the soldiers died for no reason.

negative, there was a strong possibility of nuclear warfare during the war such as the Cuban Missile Crisis

i think it was negative on history beacuse we did not make any relaions with any country.

I think that the cold war was both positive and negative. There was the missle crisis that was positive because it kept soviets away fome the US and it was negative because it almost led to nuclear war

the cold war was a negative event in history because there was a chance of nuclear warfare might have been enough to destroy the world

the cold war was a negative event in history because of the missle crisis. who knows how many people could have died, if each country would have actually used them.

i think that it was negative because the U.S. and the Soviets stocked up on nuclear weapons

I think the Cold War was negative because of the chance of the Cuban Missle Crisis going farther than it actually did. There really was that threat of a nuclear war which would have devastated the whole globe.

The Cold War had both positive and negative effects, but all in all, I think that it was ultimately a postive event because it showed people that things could be resolved with words; they didn't always have to fight and prove themselves. It set a good example for future generations.

I think the cold war is negative because there could have been nuclear bombing on the U.S. it did stop the spread of some communism but it could have been done in other ways.

I think that the Cold War was a negative event in history. It introduced nuclear and other dangerous weapons. This puts every country and every person in danger. These new weapons have the ability to wipe out the entire world.

i think that the cold war had both positive and negative effects, negative in that people died over war, positive in that they acually learned how to negocicate (detente) another negative effect is that with out the cold war they wouldent have neuclear wepons to kill who ever is against them.

Negative--lotsa innocent lives threatened over Cuban Misssile Crisis

The Cold War had a negative effect on history because it exposed many countries to nuclear weapons. Some countries such as North Korea and Iran could be hiding nuclear weapons for future use towards the US and its allies.

any war isnt positive and even though not many died in the cold war it could've became nuclear and destroyed the world.

The cold war was a negative event because it taught other countries about nuclear war far.

I think that the Cold War was a positive effect on history because even though it was still a war, there was not nearly as much violence, as all the other wars that went on in history.

I believe that the cold war was a positive event because we now know what countries have nuclear bombs and if those countries are a threat to us

The Cold War did nothing but turn the United States of America into a military industrial complex with none of the morals we used to stand for.

I think the cold war was an negative event in history because countries split into 2 and many countries were terrifed of what the soviets did to them.

I think the cold war was all negative. Of course a dispute was settled, but think of all the innocent people who suffered for the sake of it. The east germans were imprisoned in their own country without supplies, the czechs had a civil uprising, the yugoslavians mutinied. The only good thing about this war was that it has ended.

Left the idea that nuclear weapons were present.
