Answer 2

Answer:

Primarily because both of the superpowers had nuclear weapons, and the enormous possibility that any kind of escalation could potentially lead to their use and the end of human life. The U.S. showed at the end of WWII that they not only had nuclear weapons, but would use them if the situation called for it.
