Explanation:

A. For sourcing this document, two valid methods are:

1. Cross-reference with official archives of the 1955 Bandung Conference, which holds official records and transcripts of speeches from the event.
2. Consult academic databases or peer-reviewed historical publications that analyze or reproduce Sukarno's Bandung Conference speeches, as these are vetted sources.

B. The Cold War was a prolonged, tense geopolitical rivalry (roughly 1947-1991) between the U.S.-led capitalist bloc and the Soviet-led communist bloc. It was characterized by proxy wars, ideological conflict, arms races, and diplomatic maneuvering, but no direct large-scale military war between the two main superpowers. It is not a direct, open conventional war between the U.S. and USSR, nor was it a conflict focused on a single territorial or resource dispute; its core was competing global ideologies and influence.

C. When sourcing a document using H.A.P.P. (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View), you also need to respond with the reliability and limitations of the source.
