Why nations avoid war?

War is a very costly activity for a nation. Not only do the arms and ammunition cost money, but since significant part of the most active population (young men) are busy fighting, they can not do something more useful. War also destroys resources (human casualties, especially civilians in modern warfare, destroyed buildings, factories etc.), so recovery after war is not easy. In the old times, the direct costs of warfare could be compensated by allowing the soldiers (mercenaries) to plunder the defeated towns, but in the modern times soldiers require payment, they are not content (neither allowed) with stealing TV sets from the houses of the conquered villages. Prolonged war can seriously affect involved nations, e.g. 30-years war in 17th century Europe has caused so much casualties and destroyed resources, that it took decades for the whole European economy to reach its pre-war level. Similarly, the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 90-ies has caused many deaths and a massive outflow of refugees, who did not return to the country after the war, so there is shortage of the most productive part of society, thus economic recovery is slow.


How did the relationship between the US and USSR lead to the Cold War?

The Cold War began as World War II was ending. American leaders saw the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a threat to our national security. The Cold War was a war of words and ideologies rather than a shooting war, although at times the Cold War turned "hot" as in Korea and Vietnam. Basically, the Cold War was a rivalry between the United States as leader of the western democracies, and the Soviet Union and the nations that were controlled by the communists. Some causes of the Cold War included: Attempts by the Soviets and Chinese Communists to influence and take over areas in Asia and Europe. Containment--the policy of the United States to stop communism from spreading to other areas of the world. The Truman Doctrine--a policy of supporting anti-communist regimes with military and economic aid. The Doctrine was first used in support of democratic governments in Greece and Turkey. The Marshall Plan--a massive plan to aid in rebuilding Europe after World War II. Western allied nations, as well as neutral nations, and even the Soviet Union were offered economic assistance. The Soviet Union saw this as a threat to their attempt to gain influence in Europe and Asia. The division of Germany after the war---The Soviets blockaded West Berlin, which was deep within Communist East Germany. The Soviets thought the blockade would allow them to take over all of Berlin. The US replied with the Berlin Airlift, to supply West Berlin. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed in 1949 by the US, Canada, and nine European nations, the first peacetime military alliance in US History. The NATO nations agreed that an attack on one would be an attack on all. The Soviets replied with the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance of communist nations in Eastern Europe. September, 1949, the Soviet Union tested its first Atomic Bomb. The Cold War continued through the decades of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
