They shouldn't have been so lax in dealing with the USSR.  An extra involvement in a foreign war; such as a well-placed nuke on the Kremlin, would have helped end the cold war and negated the modern influx of communism and socialism into Western Europe.

The Cold War in the 1950s was marked by a policy of containment adopted by the United States as well as a policy of Peaceful Coexistence adopted in the wake of the death of Stalin by the USSR under Kruschev. Both policies led to a consolidation of spheres of interest and boundaries, with the aim of minimizing the risk of the outbreak of another major war, after the example that had been set up the Korean War.

Old habits die hard, both sides still target each other....\n\nLook at the POST-cold war incident back in 1995 when a Norwegian scientific satellite launch caused the Russians to go into war mode ready to retaliate against NATO and the US.

We effectively did. The Russians stayed within the boundaries that were established at the end of World War II. We could have tried to push the Russians back into their own territory, but Harry Truman didn't want another 200,000 dead Americans.\n\nAnd containment largely worked for the 40 years that the Cold War raged... We won Berlin, drew to a tie in Korea and Cuba, and lost Vietnam (but the Russians didn't win).\nAnd the arms race effectively destroyed the Soviet economy; at a terrible cost to the US, but we won the Cold War.

You could ask them about how perceptions of women changed (how they viewed themselves as well as how others came to view them) as they scrambled to fill the domestic job openings left by the men who went off to fight overseas.\n\nAlso, did s/he feel compelled to take a "patriotic" job with the defense industry or something that benefited the nation's war effort?  If s/he didn't, why not?  If s/he did, what did the person end up doing?  Did they feel they were helping out their country?\n\nDid they ever worry what might happen if their homeland got invaded (I'm assuming you're asking North Americans or UK people)?  Would they have been ready to take up whatever arms they had and try to repel the invasion, even if there wasn't much hope?\n\nAfter the war started, how long did they think it would take to end?\n\nWas rationing effective or did too many people just gyp the system in one way or another (bribery, hoarding, etc.)?\n\nWhat sacrifices did they make so that they could help out the soldiers?\n\nDid they buy war/liberty bonds?  Did they worry about the massive federal deficits?\n\nHope this helps out.

No ICBMs, just a lot of cat and mouse play. The closest was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nothing happened.
