That which Hi, everyone In this sentnece "This month's agreement has reduced the risks of a nuclear conflict on the same scale as THAT WHICH the Cold War saw", why can't I use "on the same scale as that which the Cold War saw"? What i mean is: The agreement has reduced the risks of a nuclear conflict on the same scale as THAT(the scale) of the nuclear conflict we had during the Cold War.... Then why can't I say "(...) reduced the risks of a nuclear conflict on the same scale as THAT WHICH the Cold War saw"? Thank you very much!

In my view there is nothing wrong with your usage of "that which" in this context.
