China was a wild card during the Cold War. They fought the United States in the Korean War when they thought MacArthur might invade China; it had nothing to do with them being 'communist'. While many in the US Congress thought China automatically supported the USSR, that was incorrect. The Chinese wanted to be recognized by the US, and only supported the Soviets as a way of forcing the US to recognize them. After Nixon went to China, the Chinese took a pro-capitalist stance that made them the economic powerhouse they are today.
During the Cold War, communist China faced significant military struggles that influenced its national policies and international relations. The Chinese Civil War established the Communist Party's dominance, but tensions with the Soviet Union and the United States shaped its military strategies. The Korean War (1950-1953) marked China's first major military engagement, solidifying its role in global communist movements while also leading to strained relations with the West. These struggles ultimately pushed China to develop a more independent military stance and pursue modernization efforts, setting the stage for its future rise as a global power.
The Red Scare significantly influenced the military by heightening anti-communist sentiments and leading to increased defense spending and military readiness. It resulted in the expansion of military forces and the establishment of new agencies, such as the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), to root out perceived communist influence. Additionally, the fear of espionage and infiltration prompted a focus on loyalty oaths and security clearances for military personnel. Overall, the Red Scare fostered a climate of suspicion that shaped military policies and practices during the Cold War era.
The Red Scare in the late 1940s and early 1950s heightened fears of communism and led to increased military preparedness in Canada. The Canadian government expanded its military capabilities, focusing on anti-communist measures and aligning more closely with NATO allies, particularly the United States. This period also saw a rise in defense spending and recruitment, as well as a focus on intelligence and counterintelligence operations to combat perceived communist threats. Overall, the Red Scare significantly influenced Canada's defense policy and military strategy during the Cold War era.
The communists won by having more determination. Their effect on the US domestic front simply meant an added communist power to contain, during the cold war.
The Vietnam War was primarily fueled by the struggle between communist North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, and non-communist South Vietnam, backed by the United States and other anti-communist allies. The U.S. aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia as part of its broader Cold War policy of containment. The conflict escalated due to fears that a communist takeover in Vietnam would trigger similar movements in neighboring countries, a theory known as the "Domino Effect." Ultimately, the war became a deeply controversial and costly conflict for the U.S. and Vietnam.
