But back then, they stood ready for use at any moment. Today, these “doomsday bunkers,” meaning underground structures to be used in the case of a catastrophe, sound like a piece of fiction.
At one point, America took the threat of nuclear attack so seriously, the government began building “nuclear fallout shelters” - a room built underground to protect people from the effects of a nuclear bomb. In the case of the American-Russian Cold War, practically half the world was in danger. But during a “cold war,” (which now is mainly used to refer to the war between the Americans and Russians), the conflict does not involve direct fighting but occurs through hurting the other country’s economy or government, threats, spying, or wars by neighboring countries representing the main countries that are against each other.
The Russians and Americans may not have been fighting with guns, tanks, or bombs, but something far more sinister was lurking just around the corner.ĭuring a “hot war,” an armed fight between nations, it’s mostly the soldiers on the frontlines and civilians living in range of the action who are at risk.
