From the end of World War II until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the threat of a nuclear war was always looming over the world. The years of 1973 and 1974 played a vital role in the Cold War because what happen in that short time has effected the world forever. The official ending of the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, the OPEC energy crisis, and the resignation of President Richard Nixon all occurred in 1973 and 1974. The political events, scientific and technical developments, military developments, economic changes, social conditions, and popular culture during these two years left a lasting mark on how life was to carry on for the following twenty years. |
