Abstract: During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union constantly maneuvered to achieve superiority. When one nation was perceived to overstep its bounds, the other would signal its discontent by moving aircraft carrier groups, conducting military exercises, pursuing diplomatic actions or enforcing embargoes. These clear, but nuanced, signals may well have averted nuclear exchanges.
