greater trade between the East and West

Explanation

The arms race increased fear of nuclear attack and led many communities to build fallout shelters. Competition to develop more advanced weapons also encouraged greater study of science and math. The rivalry heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union; space exploration was largely competitive rather than cooperative, and East-West trade did not generally increase as a result.
