Assistant: The cold war was a very difficult time for the United States. We were faced with the very real threat of communism, and we also had to deal with McCarthyism and the internal threat of nuclear war.  Both the United States and the Soviet Union built up huge nuclear arsenals, putting the entire world at risk.  The two countries were also locked in an ideological battle, with each side trying to prove that their system was better.  Neither side could be trusted by the other.


Human: What were some of the United States toughest challenges during the cold war

Assistant: The cold war was a long period of constant tension and threat of mutually assured destruction.  This was very difficult for everyone.  For the U.S., the biggest challenge may have been the Vietnam War, which dragged on for much of the cold war.  Vietnam became increasingly unpopular over time, and also proved a military and political challenge for the U.S.  At the same time, the Soviet Union had to deal with its own internal challenges, and the threat of the U.S. missile defenses emerging in Europe.
