Summary: Documenting events and effects of the Cold War on Russia and America. This also follows the transformation of America from the innocent naive hero to a man rivaling Russia in madness. I wrote this story based around the Dark Knight quote. Plus, who doesn't wanna see a crazed-our America? I know I do!
Prologue:
They were bloody mad.
The two of them.
Though no armies had clashed or bombs fired, tensions had never been higher between the two superpowers that arose out of World War II.
The United States of America and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
America and Russia.
Each nation tried to overpower the other in every way possible. One would boast, the other would belittle. One would accomplish one thing only to be outdone by the other.
It became so bad that both couldn't be in the same room during the world meetings. They would both attend, but one would stay for the first half while the other wondered around the building. And on the very rare occasions that they had to be together, when one would speak, the other would step out of the room.
Forty-six years this occurred.
When the rest of the world watched, on razor's edge, every single movement made by the superpowers.
The Cold War may have only thought to be between America and Russia, but every decision each nation made affects everyone else in the world.
It could have easily been hell on earth.
