Cold War

The Korean War and the Vietnam War were both results of communist aggression.

Both the Korean War and the Vietnam Wars were Cold War proxy wars, but to assume that they were the only two proxy wars is a very America-centric view. The Soviet-Afghan War is another one along with countless revolutions.

WW2 in Europe eliminated Germany, Britain, France, Austria, and Italy (Spain was neutral) as world powers. The Soviet Union (Russia) was big and fully mobilized, they simply just stepped in and established themselves.

Mercantilism acted as a deterrent to free trade by enacting barriers in the same ways as protectionism. Restricting trade by tariffs hurt the country enacting the tariff as much as the countries that were forced to pay the tariff. In the end retaliatory tariffs caused the system to fail.

The Iron Curtain was a metaphor for the Stalin's seemingly impenetrable partition of Europe between an authoritarian east and democratic west. Among the most symbolic manifestations to the Iron Curtain was the Berlin Wall.

The Korean War proved to the Communists that the US was willing to spill it's own blood to stop them.

the revisionist view of the cold war was as follows: This view states that the U.S is to blame for the 'outbreak' of the cold war. The theory was that Russia had to suffer under great losses during the war and therefore it was obvious and expected that Stalin would make sure that Russia had good relations to the neighbouring states. Therefore his motives were thought to be purely defensive and that there was no threat´to the U.S. and capitalism. Some historians say that the Americans should not have challenged the idea of a Soviet 'sphere of influence' in eástern Europe. The actions of especially of Truman provoked the hostility of the Russians. (The Americans have become obsessed with hostility towards commuism.)

The MARSHALL PLAN (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an economic stimulus package put together by US Secretary of State George Marshall. In this program, the United States gave $13 billion (approximately $120 billion in current dollar value) to rebuild Non-Communist European economies after the end of World War II and help them resist Communist guerrillas.

Nixon was the only President to resign from office.

The Federal Employee Loyalty Program was established by President Harry S. Truman. This program implemented invasive measures that were designed to identify and remove Communist sympathizers from government.

Russia was one of the two superpowers the cold war was metaphorically fought between. The other was America and for decades the two superpowers, with their opposing ideologies (communism - Russia and capitalism - America). Events such as the Cuban Missiles Crisis, Détente, Prague Spring and Berlin Wall were all caused due to superpower tensions. The cold war started in 1943, following tensions at the three conferences between GB, the USA and USSR (Russia) when deciding how to end WW2. When WW2 was over, the two remaining superpowers, Russia and the USA (as GB had been crushed following WW2) had no common enemy and relationships started turning frosty when in 1945, Harry Truman, president of the USA casually told Stalin, leader of the USSR that the USA had developed the first atomic bomb and was prepared to use it against the Russians. This was the start of approximately 45 years of Nuclear tension, and was only ended when Gorbachev (who became leader of USSR in 1985) called it of at a conference in 1989, and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall was another symbol of this release in tension. In 1991, the USSR broke down into several states and its satellite states turned away from communism aswell. Russia is now an independent, capitalist state, as communism quickly fell.

In China, red symbolizes joy as well as good fortune. Red is a particularly popular color during Chinese New Year celebrations. Also, for decades, the color red has been synonymous with communism and was often used on flags and symbols of communist countries.

Gorbachev's Perestroika failed, and it is believed that it started the initial dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Baltic Republics rose up and organized because of Glastnost to overthrow the Union.

The "Witch Hunts" were methods employed by Conservative Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy during the cold war. He basically said he had a list of Communist sympathizers that were able to infiltrate the government, these claims were however, unfounded, which eventually lead to his censure and political decline as fellow Conservatives and Republicans saw him as a liability.

The term McCarthyism means to accuse someone of disloyalty, treason, and/or subversion without evidence. People who questioned McCarthyists were branded as communists, traitors, etc.

the cold war was coming to an end. Apex :)

* The Soviet Union was a Communist country, which put the needs of the state ahead of personal human rights and was ruled by a dictator. The USA was a capitalist democracy which valued freedom and feared Communism. * One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, and guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio; fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.

* Stalin wanted huge reparations from Germany, and a 'buffer' of friendly states to protect the USSR from being invaded again. Britain and the USA wanted to protect democracy, and help Germany to recover. They were worried that large areas of eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control. * The Soviet Union could not forget that in 1918 Britain and the USA had tried to destroy the Russian Revolution. Stalin also thought that they had not given him enough help in the Second World War. Britain and the USA could not forget that Stalin had signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact with Germany in 1939.

* Neither side trusted each other. Every action they took made them hate each other more: * Russian historians blamed Churchill (the British Prime Minister) and Truman (the American president, 1945-1953). They said Truman and Churchill wanted to destroy the USSR, which was just defending itself. At first, western writers blamed Russia. They said Stalin was trying to build up a Soviet empire. Later, however, some western historians blamed America. They said Truman had not understood how much Russia had suffered in the Second World War. Later still, historians think BOTH sides were to blame - that there were hatreds on both sides. Most recently, historians agree that the Cold War was primarily a clash of beliefs - Communism versus Capitalism.
