THE MOST AMUSING THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE COLD WAR

THE US AND THE USSR WERE INITIALLY GOING TO

GO INTO SPACE TOGETHER BUT AFTER PRESIDENT

KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED, THE SOVIETS DIDN'T

TRUST VICE PRESIDENT JOHNSON

THE USSR THOUGHT THAT THE BUILDING IN THE CENTRE

OF THE PENTAGON WAS A TOP SECRET MEETING

ROOM SO THEY POINTED THEIR NUKES AT IT.

IT WAS ACTUALLY A HOT DOG STAND

DURING THE COLD WAR, THE SOVIETS COULD TELL

IF A PASSPORT WAS FAKE BECAUSE THE STAPLES IN

REAL PASSPORTS WOULD CORRODE DUE TO THE

LOW QUALITY METAL

THE UNITED STATES USED BEARS TO TEST THE

EJECTOR SEATS OF THEIR JETS

GEORGE ORWELL WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO

USE THE TERM "COLD WAR"

ORIGINALLY, THE TERM 3RD WORLD COUNTRY DID NOT

MEAN A POOR NATION. IT SIMPLY MEANT ANY COUNTRY

NOT ALIGNED WITH EITHER THE US OR THE USSR

ON THAT NOTE, COUNTRIES ALIGNED WITH THE US

WERE CONSIDERED FIRST WORLD, AND COUNTRIES

ALIGNED WITH THE USSR WERE CONSIDERED 2ND WORLD

THE US HAD MADE PLANS TO DETONATE A NUCLEAR

BOMB ON THE MOON TO SHOW OFF MILITARY MIGHT.

IT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED

CANADA FORCIBLY RELOCATED MANY INUIT INTO THE

NORTHERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY IN ORDER TO

AFFIRM ITS SOVEREIGNTY IN THE ARCTIC
