The cold war started in 1947 and ended in 1991. The cold war was a big war between the USSR and the US. The name cold war was founded because there was no direct fighting in this war. Both sides had economic and political differences, when we say this its word for communism. During this war the western countries had expanded their military and the aid finances.
Introduction The Cold War was a conflict that began shortly after World War II between the United States and the Soviet Union over their differences in ideologies (Koenig, The 1950's and the Cold War 1). The United States being a free market capitalist democracy, while the Soviet Union was a totalitarian communist regime. These two countries came out of World War II as the most powerful and given their difference in ideologies there was a rush to exert their influence onto third world countries to become the undisputed superpower of the world. Cold War gets Hot
The Cold War was a time of stress, worry, and distrust. The war started under the presidential term of Harry S. Truman. The war was fought without soldiers and weapons. It was fought with spies and hostility. The two main antagonist where the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) (us history).
This began a long, heated war between the Soviet and the United States, known as the Arms Race. The Cold War had started a couple years earlier soon after the World War had ended. This was basically a period of time where the United States and Soviet Russia exchanged many threats and were extremely hostile toward each other. This was somewhat strange, seeing as how the two countries fought as allies against the Axis powers. However, the United States long feared the spread of communism.
The cold war characterized in many aspects. Here I conclude it with several key words. Firstly, political conflicts and military tension between US ans USSR. Secondly, the Marshall plan which was seen by Russia as USA using economic aid to buy itself an empire or 'sphere of influence '. Also, Nuclear fear also was the characteristic of cold war, everyone at that time was fear of the nuclear war that was seemed to happen, especially at the time of Cuba missile crisis.
After World War II, it was one of the most scary and threatening time in our history. This was the Cold War, a state of political hostility between countries characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare, in particular. Mainly between the two powerhouse countries, the USSR or known as the Soviet Union and the United States. Back to back both countries were competing to see who was strong. They were in the Space Race, even though the Soviet Union was the first in outer space, but the United States was the first to the Moon.
In 1949, USSR exploded an atomic bomb and this aggravated their trust problems. Why? Because both of them were in possession of the most powerful and destructive weapon and both of them were willing to use it in case they felt threatened. (Nicholson, 2002) During the Cold War, it was developed a doctrine called nuclear deterrence, but this doctrine still applies to present contexts which involve nuclear weapons.
Many countries such as the Soviet Union; which first tested their device in 1949 -- two years after the first use of the weapon; And the United States began building their nuclear arsenal up, causing the beginning of the Cold War. People believed that since the U.S. was fighting along the Soviet Union during WW2 that they would be still be allies, but no one remembered about the distrust that came between the two nations after the bombs were dropped(4). The U.S and the Soviet Union knew about the dangers of this new weapon; On July 1, 1968 they both along sixty other countries signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, limiting the amount of nuclear weapons(6).
The creation and mass production of nuclear warheads and missiles was why the Cold War never heated up into a full scale conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. This peace would continue on beyond détente, and despite escalation
The Cold war had many different factors and other fighting in it. The war raged on for 40 years. It started after World war II. The United Nations became a group within countries. Europe was divided.
The cold war was a time of tension between the united of soviet socialist republics (USSR) and the United states as well as their ideologies. It followed the second world war and persisted from 1945 to 1991. The Cold war took its name because both sides were afraid to confront each other in a direct way. Thus, they used words as weapons. They threatened and denounced each other.
The Cold War was a conflict after the Second World War (1945-1992), between various countries that represented different ideologies. This war was characterized by the strained relations between the United States and Russia. It started in 1918, when the communists and anti-communists fought in the Russian Civil war, including the U.S which had sent troops to fight the communists. The communists won in Russia and established communism. During WWII, the Soviet Union and the United States formed an alliance against their common enemy; Hitler.
The Cold War was a struggle between the two greatest powers of that time, the USSR and the United States after World War II. Americans were wary of communism and the Soviets distrusted Americans. “We have to get tough with the Russians. They don’t know how to behave. They are like bulls in a china shop.
What is the answer to ending a war that has dragged on for decades? Détente, or the easing of hostility between two powers aimed at putting an end to the tensions that existed between Soviet Russia and the United States by using treaties and peaceful negotiations. Ultimately, though many could argue the it was ineffective, the role that détente played in finalizing the war that had dragged on for years. In my paper, I will illustrate the key reasons as to why détente assisted in hastening the end of the Cold War.
INTRODUCTION Since the end of the cold war in 1989, the United States of America has emerged to be the sole surviving superpower, introducing international politics to its current and prevailing state of unipolarity. But, what really is unipolarity? The years following the end of the Second World War after 1945, were a period of bipolarity that was met with the cold war: a struggle in both military and political efforts between the western bloc (the United States and its allies) and the eastern bloc (the Soviet Union and its allies in the Warsaw pact). The cold war came to an end as the soviet bloc collapsed leaving Russia to stand on its own and with less power, thus giving the United States of America its supremacy as the only superpower
