Communism verses non-communists. But, communists and non-communists EXISTED before the cold war. The Atomic Age created the cold war. If no nuclear weapons existed, there would have been no cold war. There would probably have been a hot one. World War 3 if the the communists wished to start one.

The Palmer Raids following World War I were caused by fear of Communists, anarchists, socialists and other leftists.
