What events caused an immediate end to the war in the pacific during ww2?
The US dropped two Atomic bombs on Japan who surrendered
What events signaled the end of the Cold War?
The end of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union was not based on just two events. The cold war began to lose steam with Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of perestroika (reform and/or restructuring of the Soviet Union) and glasnot (openness). It was not Gorbachev's intention to bring communism to an end but that was the result. It was the collapse of the Soviet Union (and the incredible and rapid events of 1989 in Eastern Europe) which brought the end to the Soviet Union and the cold war. Once the Soviet Union no longer could afford to finance their satellite states or provide military assistance, the Eastern Bloc of countries were in no position to fight off the brave citizens who protested, demonstrated, and demanded reform. They lost their power and one by one, communist countries faded from the globe to be replaced with a new Socialism and their own form of democracy (think Poland and Solidarity, the overthrow of Ceausescu's Romanian Dictatorship, Hungary removing the barbed wire from its border with Germany, the Velvet Revolution and Velvet Divorce of Checkoslovakia) The changes came with a flurry in 1989 and concluded with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.
What was the percentage of the price increase when congress voted to end wartime price control durning the cold war?
It rose 25% in two years.
What post-ww2 events contribute to the cold war?
It wasn't POST WW2 that contributed to the cold war. It was the nuclear weapon itself that caused the cold war. Without the atomic bomb, there would've been NO Cold War. Cold War means a stand-off between two enemies. If no super weapon exists (Atomic Weapons) then there's NO stand-off...they fight instead. Just like in the pre-atomic past.
Which country dropped the atomic bomb in the cold war?
No nation dropped an atomic weapon during the cold war. The cold war is not the same as World War 2. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan by the US at the end of World War 2. The cold war is called 'cold' because it was not an actual armed conflict. It was a period marked by a conflict of ideologies, propaganda and fear.
