When I think of “Cold War,” the first thing that comes to my mind is the Soviet Union, the color red, and the little symbol that was/is used to represent the country (a red background with a single hammer and a half moon shaped tool/weapon colored in gold). The Soviet Uion came to my mind because of the feud between them and the United States on the matter of communism. This also brings up the topic of the Red Scare in which many eople were scared that communism would spread to America. The color red and the flag came to my mind because of the strong symbolism/feeling that they portray even though I have no idea what the symbols mean. The second thing that came to my mind was President Ronald Reagan because he was our President during this time. One thing I learned was that the Red Scare actually started before World War II. Surprisingly, it started during World War I from 1917-1918.
