The two groups were at war because they represented two powers with different ideologies, which placed them as rivals in the quest for international influence.

Explanation:

The Cold War was an ideological and political confrontation established between the US and the USSR. These two countries were two economic and military powers, being very influential throughout the world, which allowed both to determine international and political relations. Despite all this power, the US and the USSR had different ideologies regarding their economic policies. The US as a capitalist country saw the USSR as a rival because of its communist policy. The USSR saw the US in the same way and for this reason, both countries tried to increase their influences by competing politically, technologically and economically, evaluating which ideology was more capable of impacting the world and gaining allies.

the correct answer is "pioneers carried all of their possessions on long and dangerous trails".

the first wave of pioneers travelled in 1842. they were merely 100 people. the next year that sum climbed to 1000 men, women, and children. these people travelled around 2,000 miles to oregon in the hopes of a better life. although the first part of the trip didn't present many obstacles, as time and miles went by they learnt that threat came from simple things, like becoming ill due to unclean water or bad food.

the weather didn't much, as wagons couldn't protect them from storms. as they travelled through the desert, the intense heat caused wood to shrink. their own lips abscessed and split because of the dry air. the only cure for this was to rub axle grease on their lips.

even crossing rivers was dangerous. sometimes wheels were damaged by unseen rocks on shallow water. mud didn't much either. pioneers were afraid of indian attacks, but there aren't many records of fights between pioneers and native americans. accidents happened because of negligence, exhaustion, guns, and bad weather.

history says that 1 of 10 pioneers who travelled to oregon didn't survive the journey. diseases spread fastly because they didn't have doctors and medical care was ofently improvised. one of the most deadly diseases they came upon was cholera, which became a worldwide pandemia.
