Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

There were several successive events, some of them highly symbolic, others incredibly important

Berlin Airlift
Sputnik
Cuban Missile Crisis
I would say the Korean War

But the cold war cannot really be measured in events - perhaps the most important was the continual improvement in the quality of life in the United States, and the simultaneous increse in its military strength!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
