America's Cold Red Nightmare:
Cold War Propaganda and how it Affected the Americans
The Cold War was a battle between the Soviet Union and America over which economic system was superior, communism or capitalism. To get this point across the United States launched a series of propaganda campaigns to prove communism was inferior to capitalism. These campaigns were launched throughout the war's lifespan and affected the lives of millions of Americans.

"The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting."
- Richard M. Nixon
