fine, I'll accept the criticism. I typically am hard on typo's myself.

I will fix the error, but I give it to you.

I know the relationship between the two got worse after WW2, but is the answer North & South Korea?

Okay. I read it again.

With the establishment of these two rivals... So yeah, I am pretty sure it's north and south Korea.

Probably because the word "Pact" was not included with "Warsaw".

I like how OP didnt include the correct answer. Lol

You think the names of the two alliances were "Nato and warsaw"...

and I have to explain to you why you are technically incorrect? I'll re-state it as you are fully incorrect.

Also the teacher that got it correct is a history teacher. The two who were wrong (and not far off) one is middle school music teacher and the other is elementary school resource teacher.

if I had included the correct answer, wouldn't that make my first question pointless? Where I asked if anyone did not know the answer?

Didn't the answer say "two military alliances"? This makes a big difference, if so. I thought this is what I read when I watched it.

Ah. Now I get it.

You’re a tool that expects people on TD to reply to your stupid OP as accurately as one would on jeopardy even though you knew exactly what he was talking about and you’re not Trebek.

Carry on.

I'm going to guess they were looking for Eastern and Western Blocs but I'm not sure.

Those really aren't terms used often anymore. So I get why so many wouldn't know.

And OP is just trying to not so subtly brag about his intelligence.

No the answer actually is nato and the Warsaw Pact.

He’s just being a douche.

dude, you are making lame excuses... I am supposed to be impressed that one teacher was aware that the USA and USSR were the main players in the Cold War?

Or that the other teacher knew that NATO was involved in the Cold War? Sorry, not impressed that two ~45 year old teachers don't know that easy answer.
