Question

How could a War between the US and USSR be even worse than WWWII

Answer 1

A war between the US and the USSR would have been worse than WWII, because they both had nukes, which would result in high casualty rates at a relatively low amount of time, radiation that kills many more people and destroys crops, land, water sources, etc, and pretty much just ends the world (if nukes were used everywhere)

hope this helps

Answer 2

Well the Cold war was pretty terrible because this war wasn't about territory, or control, but rather beliefs as a whole. Also, there was a lot of manipulation going on, which messed up a lot of peoples governments. For example, I believe we staged a coup in Afghanistan which actually messed up a pretty solid presidency, and as a result, we formed Al Qaeda, religious extremists.
