Question

What is the origin of the term 'Cold War' and why was it used to describe the conflict between the U.S and Russia?

Answer 1

i believe the expression was 1st used by a writer in a novel, one of the spy writers,(le Carre or Shute or someone of that genre) but i can't think of his name at the moment.. . And i belive it is both because relations between East and West became cold after WW2 and also becasue no actually fighting took place, it was more a battle of the minds as opposed to a typical war.
