Answer 1

A. The cold war encouraged fear in Washington.

During the Cold War, Washington state experienced a heightened sense of fear and anxiety due to its strategic location on the West Coast. The state was seen as a potential target for Soviet nuclear attacks, leading to the construction of air raid shelters and fallout shelters. The fear of a potential nuclear war had a significant impact on the daily lives of Washington residents, from civil defense drills to purchasing survival supplies. Additionally, the presence of military installations and defense contractors in the state contributed to the sense of vulnerability and tension during the Cold War era.
