Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 1946, the Soviet Union was considered to be the primary threat to national security due to its spread of communism and expansionist policies. This belief led to the beginning of the Cold War between the USSR and the United States. Communist China was not yet a major player on the world stage at this time, and issues such as climate change and income inequality were not seen as significant threats to national security.
