The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
In 1960 the "space race" began between the US and Soviets. Both worked to get to the moon first and in 1969 the US landed on the moon. The Soviets never have landed. The space race was just another outcome of the Cold War. The ability to launch a rocket has military advantages whether it has a payload for space or for military uses.
The US was part of NATO, the Soviets were WARSAW PACT.
A lot of people will tell you it was The Bomb. As a Cold War cryptologist, my vote is for the R-390A/URR radio receiver, used for decades by American intelligence to monitor the Soviets. The R-390 and the information gained from it allowed us to use diplomatic approaches to settling disagreements between us and the Soviets.
It sped things up in Europe; it was really a race between the Soviets (Russians) and the Western Allies, on who could beat whom into Berlin first. The Germans greatly wanted to surrender to the Western Allies, not the Soviets! Had the US/British not reached Berlin when they did, the Soviets (Russians) would have taken over ALL of Berlin, instead of just EAST Berlin.
The Soviets (Russians) called it their Vietnam because it was long and they didn't do too well. But it was entirely different: 1. The Soviets were not fighting another country. They were fighting insurgents. If the US had just been fighting the VC during the Vietnam War then there would be a more appropiate comparison. However, the US ended up fighting (via the Tonkin Gulf Incident) North Vietnam; that was the North Vietnamese Army. 2. The Soviets were not fighting an enemy air force. The US had to fight the North Vietnamese Air Force which was equipped with Soviet/Chicom (Chinese Communist) MiG17, MiG19, and MiG21s (the MiG21s were supplied only by the USSR). 3. The Soviets were not fighting an enemy navy. The US had to fight the North Vietnamese Navy; their torpedo boats started the Tonkin Gulf Incident. 4. The Soviets were not fighting the an enemy army. The US had to deal with the NVA (North Viet Army). They had PT76 light tanks and T54 medium tanks.
it was Berlin
The soviets were fighting for there homeland and freedom from German control. I hope that answers your question.
There were no US soviets, the US have senates.
No. The Soviet Union, or USSR, invaded Afghanistan in 1979. The US covertly supported the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan who were fighting against the Soviets. After ten years of fighting the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan.
The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
The Soviets pulled out after 8 years of fighting.
the soviets shot down an American spy plane
He wanted to avoid fighting on to fronts. By 1941 he was fighting the soviets and the British/American troops. The war with the soviets was called the Eastern front. Hitler also tried to make peace with Britain to avoid this, but they declined.
The US and Soviets had always been adversarys. The Soviets had been communists since 1917. Nuclear weapons caused the change in 1945, when the first one went off. More tension was created in 1949 when the Soviets tested their first weapon.
During World War II, they did. During the Cold War, the Soviets were one of the Four Powers responsible for the military administration of Berlin. (The US, British and French Armies were the other three.) The difference between the Soviets and the other three: the US, British and French treated their "military administration" duties as ceremonial, but the Soviets really had the Army running the city.
there was no treaty
