Solution

One would disagree that the Cold War was just a simple power struggle and that ideology had nothing to do with it. The following arguments support this.
a. The Cold War has been described as a period of intense hostilities and tensions between the two superpowers, the US and the USSR. This period was more of a diplomatic or ideological war and did not result in a full scale war.
b. A situation between the two power blocs that is frequently referred to as a "war of words," in which both blocs attempted to create ideological hatred toward one another's ideas.
c. We may cite the example of how the Western alliance, which was headed by the US, represented liberal capitalist ideology and how the Eastern alliance led by the Soviet Union represented the Socialist and Communist ideology.
d. Both blocs criticized each other's distinctive ideologies in their ideological conflict and sought to enlarge their separate zones of influence by spreading their ideas..
e. The US, for instance, dubbed the Soviet ideology of communism as against individuals’ freedom, which had used force to establish communist regimes in East European countries. The USSR, on the other hand, projected the American ideology of capitalism as exploitative in nature.
Thus, through stifling each other's ideas, promoting their ideologies, and creating alliances with smaller countries, both sides attempted to win this ideological battle.
