Answer 1

conflicts where the United States and the Soviet Union had competing interests

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cold War period is a period of very tense relations between the two global superpowers, the USA and the USSR. Both countries were trying to impose their dominance as much as possible all around the world, with both of them having their allies and supporters, and opposition and enemies. Despite the constant threats to one another, these two countries never had a direct war between each other, but instead the battlefields were on neutral terrain, where they both had interests. Some examples of such conflicts are the ones in Vietnam, the Korean Peninsula, and Afghanistan.
