Communism Communism is a type of government and economic system (a way of creating and sharing wealth). Individual people do not own land, factories, or machinery. Instead, the government or the whole community owns these things.

Arms Race Competition between USA & USSR over the amount and power of their weapons The US was originally the only country with atomic power. Soviet Union created an atomic bomb four years later. Both developed the hydrogen bomb (more powerful)within a year of each other.

Space Race Competition between USA & USSR to see who could get to space first Soviets launch the 1st satellite (Sputnik) Scared Americans and showed that the USA was scientifically behind the Russians.
