Union, and the United States. Lack of agreement and compromise with the Soviet Union about the agreement of Germany led to the beginning of the Cold War. U.S and USSR became focus in an Arms Race to have the greatest nuclear capability.

Russia launched Sputnik, a satellite to orbit the earth, into outer space on October 4th, 1957. With tensions already running high in the Cold War, Americans panicked at the thought of the Russians building space and nuclear energy, fearing it could be used on them.

The Space Race during the Cold War During the Cold War, the United States and Russia had a severe space race between one another.

The Space Race There are a few things that little boys love more than anything else and among those are dinosaurs, racecars, and rocket ships.
