Question

Human welfare was neglected due to the Cold War.

Answer 1

With the world caught between two superpowers competing to power and influence, the arms race took precedence over Human welfare. A huge amount of money was spent on raising and maintaining military organizations for the security of the blocs. Mutual cooperation for human development was neglected; even the regional cooperation in Europe was in the context of the Cold War with the latent objective of financing the increasing cost of the war.
