The Kitchen Debate
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 During the late 1950's, the United States was engaged in a war. This was not a shooting war. The newspapers called it a "cold war." The United States and the Soviet Union were fighting each other with words and threats. Both countries wanted to be looked upon as world powers. Both countries had nuclear weapons. Neither country wanted to admit that the other was stronger.
