fear." In my opinion, the Cold War accurately demonstrates this definition of peace. The Cold War was a period in history where peace was nonexistent because of the fear present in the minds of Americans. The Cold War, despite being a drawn-out period of tension and hostilities between primarily the Soviet Union and the United States, had an absence of actual military conflict.
