Warsaw pact

high cost of maintaining the arms race (:

The United States spends more on "defense" than any other country, and we lead the pack in "best weapons" if that means anything any more. Let's be clear, though. Anyone with nuclear weapons and with biological weapons (and a number of countries have them) is sitting at the big table. The stakes are high, and there is a splendid chance that few if any folks (whether they have weapons or not) will be unaffected if something big jumps off. The "best weapon" may be one determined individual with an assault rifle whose boots are on the ground in a given area.

The domino theory was promoted at times by the United States government and speculated that if one state in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect. The domino theory was used by successive United States administrations during the Cold War to justify the need for American intervention around the world.

The US won the Cuban Missile Crisis only by making a secret deal with the Soviet Union. This left Cuba in the hands of Fidel Castro. Although it confirmed the strength of the US in preventing Soviet armaments from being placed in Latin America, Cuba itself regularly provided arms and troops to communist guerrilla movements.
The United States further extended its containment policy in Latin America---You're welcome Gradpoint users :)

Joseph Stalin

In 1950 the Korea Peninsula was divided between a Soviet-backed government in the north and an American-backed government in the south. The division of Korea into two halves had come at the end of World War II. In August of 1945 the Soviet Union invaded Korea, which had been under Japan's control since 1910.

it's not

September 1945

Cold War means "no violence or no shooting." WAR is a series of battles. Very seldom is one battle a war. A Hot War is a shooting war. The Korean War was the first "Hot Battle" of the cold war. Korea was the FIRST violent clash between the Communist World and the Free World. It ended in a draw, or at least the communists were STOPPED at the 38th Parallel. The Vietnam War was the second "Hot Battle" of the cold war. The communists won that war.

The Vietnam War was much more signifcant for the U.S than the Korean War becuase History made an informative series for Vietnam, "Vietnam in HD". The Korean War didn't have as much gore or communist involvment to really make T.V material.

he was cool

No. Its Western counterpart NATO survived the Cold War, but the Warsaw Pact disbanded in 1991.

Truman and George F Kennan (the "father of containment")

He made suspected communists get interviewed. If they could prove themselves innocent, they were freed. If not, they were sent to jail. Miller was called in and was asked to name other communists he knew of so that they could go after them too. Miller refused and was sentenced to jail. His sentence was eventually taken back. Miller and McCarthy did not personally know each other.

The West German economy was not adversely affected- the automobile industry was busily churning out Volkswagens, Mercedes-Benz autos and some other makes as the now-extinct Maico ( not the hearing aid manufacturer). There were some problems with firms originally in East Berlin or East Germany proper- such as many Camera companies on the East side of the Wall. They were very much in business, but some advertising boycotts existed. the Exa, Exakta, and other Zeiss( Lines East) products were very much in evidence. there may have been maintenance loopholes- here for Camera parts, not gun parts- that permitted Cameras and gear (lenses, for example) to cross over from Dresden to West Berlin. so it went.

The Holocaust, which should better be referred to as "Shoa", meant the extermination of 6 million Jews in the Nazi concentration camps, during WW2. The "cold war" refers to the period between 1945-1989, when Western Europe was separated from the communist countries in Eastern Europe by what is known as the "iron curtain". Both regimes were dictatorships. I, personally, can't find much difference between them, since they were both inhuman and criminal. People died by the millions after the war too, at the hands of the communist leaders. Maybe the only difference is that the Nazi regime lasted for a decade (not that I can ever consider this an excuse), while the communist one is still going strong in some other parts of the world. You need to have been through both to understand. I've had my share of communism, I should know.

If you want to know why Communism would be a threat to the American Way of Life, look up Constitution of the United States. Read the first 10 amendments to the constitution. That gives a list of the rights you would lose. How would you like to go to court and hear, "You have been accused of a crime. What do you have to say for yourself?" You would say, "What crime? Who accused me of what?" The judge would say, "You should know." You would say, "Where is the jury. Surely other people would think this is stupid. The judge would say, "We do not have juries. They cause too much trouble. Since you have said nothing in your defense, 10 years in a Siberian work camp." That is how things went in the Glorious People's Republic. It is also about how things went before the Revolutionary War and why the first 10 amendments were added to the constitution. Read them. They were added in reaction to the way England had governed the 13 colonies since 1763 also known as the Intolerable Acts.

Rebuilding much of Europe and starting the United Nations.

A unified Germany survived the Cold War.

In the eyes of the world, the US lost some credibility when South Vietnam fell to the communists in April of 1975. Some nations felt the US couldn't fight anymore; Iran took advantage of that notion.

Recommend you read that information for yourself in a detailed publication; for verification.

In the meantime, the Soviets got the bomb in 1949 (they detonated their first A-bomb). During the cold war, the term used was "the bomb" that meant they now had atomic weapons.

This is what you'll need to verify; The Rosenbergs were a man & wife spy team that sold the A-bomb secrets to the Soviets. Naturally, those being the intense cold war days, those two were executed for it.

Bottom line: If those two hadn't done what they done, quite possibly the Soviets wouldn't have gotten ahold of a nuclear weapon for maybe a few more years down the road.

"The Cold War" can be described as the name given to the non-fighting war between the West and the Soviet Union to prevent the spread of communism.
