Answer: (B), (C)

The war was between the USA and the USSR

After the Second World War, the USSR and the USA embroiled themselves in a cold war. There was an intense political and ideological rivalry between the two nations - both wanted to dominate the entire world. They did not fight each other with weapons and bombs, they used all other means to scare each other. Both the USA and the USSR tried to lure other nations to join their sides by offering economic and military aid.
