Cold War

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, when George H.W. Bush was president.

Although not generally reported to the men in the field by name, high ranking US officers believed that some NVA generals may have been killed during B-52 strikes. General Giap, one of the few NVA generals fairly common to most US servicemen, due to his reputation during the French War, as well as the siege at the Marine Corps base at Khe Sanh; definitely survived the war & definitely would have been reported as killed...if he had been.

Antiwar protests convinced U.S. leaders that voters did not support aggressive foreign policy.

The cold war was good between the united states and Canada. It got them working together and the two countries became friends. Canada was mostly helping the US and not the USSR. That is why they became closer after the cold war and started helping each other out more.

While there is no single event that triggered the cold war to take place there was a world climate that incubated it with alarming speed.

The largest factor was that Russia and the US were both the two largest nations at that time with two very different set of allies.

The US was supporting Mao's movement in China to become the center of communism in the world while at the same time attacking Sovietism via McCarthyism out of paranoia of a Soviet attack.

At the same time Russia was supporting Communist growth in Latin America and Africa which the US deemed to their control over international relations in the Western Hemisphere.

Throw in the US refusing to share nuclear tech with Russia and Russia refusing to aid the US in assisting the development of third world nations, top it off with the US openly purchasing Russian government agencies and relocating them to the US and you have one really big political disaster.

Your question should have been "What cause the Cold War to never develop into a real war?" That would have been more specific: mutually assured destruction.

Fighting a small cold or flu requires lots of rest( of course) and to also drink lots of sport drinks( except for those with artificial colored) for ex: pocari sweat etc. It helps fight of the cold. Go to the Health Food Store and talk to them. You have to build up your immune system. There are some great natural products out there.

Reagan viewed the USSR as perhaps the opposite of the values he endorsed and he was particularly critical of the existence and need for the Berlin Wall. He would see that as the opposite to his emphasis on the need for freedom.

The 1948 Soviet Blockade of West Berlin was a Failure, because although the Russians could stop land/ground traffic (trucks and trains) from travelling from West Germany, through East Germany to West Berlin, they could not stop airplanes, especially transports carrying essential supplies from flying from West Germany to West Berlin. After several months of around the clock planes flying from West Germany to West Berlin, the Russians gave up in failure.

Actual estimates are hard to determine. It was believed the the invasion force suffered 118 dead and 1201 captured. The Cuban Army lost 176 soldiers. The estimates for the militia and civilians killed or wounded could go as high as 5000 people.

The Bay of Pigs incident took place at the south coast of Cuba. This action was accomplished in 1961 when Fidel Castro took power in Cuba.

Thecollapsed of the Soviet Union triggered the Cold War

Phrase used to describe the practice of government in Britain between 1945 and 1979. The phenomenon was observed by political scientists and media commentators; Britain's two major political parties, the Conservative Party and Labour Party, were in agreement, or consensus, over certain basic government policies in the decades after World War II. The introduction of fundamental changes in government responsibility, such as the welfare state, the national health service (NHS), and widespread nationalization of industry, were effectively unchallenged by either party. The consensus lasted throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, but started to break down in the 1970s. Following the oil price rises of the early 1970s, the new economic experience of 'stagflation', where high inflation was combined with high unemployment, caused many in the Conservative Party to challenge the accepted orthodoxy of Keynesian economics - that a fall in national income and rising unemployment should be countered by increased government expenditure to stimulate the economy. There was increasing divergence of economic opinion between the two parties, ending the consensus of the previous decades. By the time of the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 on a strongly free-market monetarist platform (aiming to curb inflation by controlling the UK's money supply, cut government spending, and privatize industry; see monetarism), consensus had become an unpopular word in many parts of the political establishment. The politics of consensus could also refer to the same time period (after WWII) on the United States political scene. President Eisenhower was able to gain a large political consensus with his massive popularity and high approval rating. Eisenhower was able to use the communist threat during the Cold War to gain a political consensus about the government's role in fighting communism. Eisenhower was avid on keeping the status quo in Washington and didn't change a lot in Post-WWII America because the economy was so good. Unfortunately the U.S. politics of consesus didn't last as long as Great Britain's due to two dividing issues in the 1960's the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.

I assume you are talking about countries which were part of the NATO alliance. The democratic ones were:

Belgium

Canada

Denmark

Federal Republic of Germany (AKA West Germany)

France

Iceland

Italy

Luxembourg

Netherlands

Norway

Sweden

United Kingdom

United States of America

The Cold War lasted for many years, the following NATO members were democratic by the end of the Cold War, but not in earlier years:

Greece

Portugal

Spain

Turkey

All of the major players in the cold war now had nuclear weapons. The Americans didn't trust the Russians, the Russians didn't trust the Americans. The British trusted nobody . - Believe me it's a wonder we survived it.

Following World War II, every administration had a policy dealing with the Cold War. Truman and Eisenhower followed a policy of containment. Under Truman the Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine were effective weapons against the threat of Soviet advancement. The development of NATO, saw the US enter the first defensive treaty during peace time. Eisenhower used force in Lebanon and continued spying on the Russians until the U2Spy Plance incident. Kennedy had to deal with the communist take-over in Cuba, the failure of the Bay of Pigs operation, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. LBJ's administration was dealing with the Vietnam War while trying to establish the "Great Society" domestic programs. Nixon began to open relations with Communist China, still a threat to our interests in the Pacific and Reagan dealth with the "Evil Empire" until the collapse of communism and the destruction of the Berlin Wall.

Chairman Mao (Mao Zedong, Mao Tse Tong) was the first Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He is regarded as he founding father of China ( People's Republic of China).

There was NO iron curtain. There was NO wall built of iron. That was simply a "Name" that was symbolic in nature, to refer to people living in the Communist Nations; mostly behind the imaginary line and/or actual barbed wire fence line which divided East and West Germany. The results of this "dividing line" was two separate worlds. One free and one communist.

It alarmed and scared the US while by being communist and making alliances with the Soviet Union. Bonds with the Soviet Union weren't strong due to many border skirmishes and ect.

The United States and the Soviet Union emerged as superpowers but had very different political ideas.

Cold War propaganda helped further entrench the military as one of the major industrial powers in the country. Also, it helped solidify a strong "us vs. them" mentality that is necessary for any empire to prosper.
