What was the goal of the US fighting communism?
Communism and capitalism are opposing ideas about how the societies of the world should be organized. Each considers the other dangerous for the reason that both dwell on the failures of the other and both often try to incite people to overthow their governments. Both have pluses and minuses. The struggle goes on. Right now, capitalism is frightened to death by the rise of the shining communism of China. They have the fastest trains in the world. Their railroad to Tibet is another type, not fast like a rocket, but a high flyer over the mountains that supplies oxygen masks for part of the trip. Who's to say what system will ultimately prevail? Oh yeah, your question, the USA wants communism stopped at any cost for the reasons stated above.
Was American involvement in the Korean and Vietnam War inevitable and why?
Yes the war in Vietnam was inevitable because the bone-head Government wouldn't have let the even the thought of Communism reach anywhere that they didn't want it to.
What point did the North Koreans almost win the Korean War?
In 1950 when they invaded S. Korea. Then they were pushed back to the Yalu river; at which point the Chinese Communists (Chicom) entered the war and pushed the UN back again. The see-saw war commenced (back and forth war).
Alger Hiss was accused of espionage by Whittaker Chambers, a self identified communist, in 1984.
Alliance of communist nations after World War 2?
The Soviet Union and the eastern European communist nations founded the Warsaw Pact in 1955. This was in response to the United States and 11 other European nations forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
US criticisms of Soviet human rights abuses were often met with the response "and what about the human rights of black people in the US? what about the lynchings?" The US thus looked hypocritical and this undermined whatever claim it might have had to a moral position.
What ultimately happened to Joesph McCarthys investigation?
The US Army stepped on him hard when he practically accused the entire Army of being communist and un-American.
When does a currency crisis occur?
A currency crisis occurs when a country can no longer support the price of its currency in foreign-exchange markets under a fixed-exchange-rate system.
How did the Soviet Union respond to the US supported Bay of Pigs invasion?
President Kennedy famously said, "…in so many other arenas of the contest for freedom, the news has grown worse instead of better. I have emphasized before that this was a struggle of Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator. While we could not be expected to hide our sympathies, we made it repeatedly clear that the armed forces of this country would not intervene in any way" (The Bay of Pigs Speech) .America while sympathetic to the Cuban cause knew that they could not risk sending US troops into Cuba because this might have caused WWIII. The Soviet Union had many ideas about the direction of American and Soviet foreign policy in Central America and throughout the Caribbean. In this effort the US backed, CIA led invasion of Cuba was a failure. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would not let this attempt go unnoticed and planned to retaliate against the U.S for supporting the invasion. He responded by shipping, then aiming 42 ballistic missiles from Cuba toward the U.S ready to be fired until their plan came to ruin when they were spotted by an American spy plane. This brought the world even closer to the brink of nuclear war. The Bay of Pigs Invasion was started to over throw Fidel Castro's government. They trained hard and planned it all out but in the end they suffered terribly disaster and humiliation for the United States and the U.S government. The failed their mission to take out Fidel Castro. And in the end all the U.S government succeeded was making Cuban residents support their leader Fidel Castro to protect and do the right thing during the invasion. With the failure of the invasion U.S President Dwight Eisenhower planned to overthrow Cuba's Government by hiring the CIA to train, arm and move Cuban exiles to help participate in the invasion of Cuba. While the new invasion was still in progress John F. Kennedy became president and as becoming the new president he had to make the biggest decision, weather he kept on going on with the attack or dismissing it. He's choice was to keep it afraid that the exiles would go to the media. The plan was to establish a government, and gain trust from the residents of Cuba. And with that they thought that the Cuban's would trust the U.S and overthrow Fidel Castro from reign. Castro had already suspected an attack from the U.S. And as he predicted the U.S started the attack with air raid. Castro had hidden and ungrouped his planes, the small Cuban air force lost seven people and several planes. The soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev, was the Premier of the Communist party in the USSR. He's idea of restoring balance and power was by placing missiles in Cuba. He had done it with out anyone finding out, but eventually his idea was shown to the light. But even after being discovered he still did not plan to have a nuclear war. He got involved with the Bay of Pigs and Fidel Castro because he wanted to help out his fellow communist against the United States. But a while afterwards he became allies with the United Stated so not to start the Nuclear war which he has been trying to avoid. The soviets mission was to take out all the "warheads" from Cuba as long as the United States removed their missiles from Turkey, and after having planned this out the soviet union put their plan to work. All just to avoid a nuclear war from both Cuba, because of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and from the United States, who all along had missiles ready to be fired. The Bay of Pigs attack started on April 17 1961 with aerial bombing two days before they attempted to disable Cuban air force. The night landings were discovered and within three days of the attack starting they were defeated. 1,189 invaders were imprisoned and 4 American pilots were killed. The CIA's plan was not only a failure but also embarrassing to the U.S president at the time, John F. Kennedy at the United Nations and in the media. The prisoners were taken to court and many were released to the U.S in exchange for $53 million in food, medicine within a year. With the failure of the Bay of Pigs and the world wide embarrassment, President Kennedy fired CIA Director Allen W. Dulles, Deputy Director Charles P. Cabell and the brains being the master mind, Deputy Director Richard Bissell. Many operations against Cuba continued to happen and a crop of documents declassified in shed to light with made to be that Cuba had attacked U.S vessels and military base which opened the opportunity of a full U.S invasion, once more. In conclusion, The Bay of Pigs Invasion was started only to through Fidel Castro of reign in Cuba, and with the U.S support the Soviet Union was furious at their support to such an invasion. With failing to take Castro of reign the Soviet Union decided to get revenge of the U.S for supporting the invasion and that they did. Going back and forth in a war that has no end where many innocent lives are at stake.

Were any nuclear missiles fired in the war?
there were only test on nuclear bomb in facilities such as area 51.
Two events that happen in each decade during the cold war?
Sputnik and "under way on nuclear power" (USS Nautilus) in the 1950's; and the "Tonkin Gulf" incident (actually a sea battle) anding a man on the moon in the 1960's.
Working on the sunroof is very hard to keep from having leaks afterward. I suggest taking it to a trim shop that has experience in this. CAll for a couple of estimates
I had the same problem,its less expensive to just get a bit bigger sunroof installed to cover the hole that was already there, so you wont have leaks or any other problems. call for estimates
What are examples of satellites?
Most moons orbiting the various planets of our solar system are considered "satellites" - more specifically, "natural satellites".
In addition, the more general use applies to the various space modules, etc., orbiting around the earth or around other planets of the solar system. As they are the result of human device, they are considered, "artificial Satellites". Sputnik 1, as the very first of these, acts as prime example.

Soviet leader and builder of the Berlin Wall?

four hours after Powers entered Soviet airspace, a Soviet pilot shot down his plane, and Powers was forced to parachute into Soviet-controlled territory. The Soviets sentenced Powers to ten years in prison.
What events turned the soviet union from an ally into a competitor during the cold war?
I believe that the turning of the USSR from an ally to a competitor was inevitable and not neccisarily due to any specific event(s) (though there are many that helped tensions between the US and the USSR). USSR had a communist government, meaning that there was a monopoly of everything (with the government in ownership) and that no matter how well you do at something, everyone will receive the same pay and benefits. This is the opposite of the US's capitalistic views in which those who work harder will reep the better pay and benefits.
Communist USSR also believed in atheism (as franlky supported by Stalin) which was an horrific thought to a very religious US. The USSR also publicly came out and said that they wished to take over the world with communism.
The US and the USSR have governments on virtually opposite sides of the spectrum thus putting us as natural enemies. The US and USSR, though "allies", werer never "friends"; we were simply united against a greater "evil" (ie Hitler and the Nazi's)
Why did USSR dismantled in 1991 on history?
The USSR was like the USA in that it was a federal system of states. The Soviet Union had "States Rights" issues. Unlike the United States, being in the Soviet Union was voluntary. The republics within the union decided to go their separate ways. The USSR split into the 15 republics that comprised it. Originally, they were supposed to go from a federation (USSR) to a confederacy (the Commonwealth of Independent States), but it has not worked out well. The CIS government is too weak to really qualify as a government. The United Nations and the United States recognizes the 15 states as individual nations, rather than the CIS.
