Cold War

Many have written about racial discrimination in the United States since Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1852 and Frederick Douglas during the Civil War. The work of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois led to such 20th Century authors such as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Langston Hughes, with Pulitzer Prize-winner Alice Walker and Toni Morrison the best known today.

Awesome moustache and keen fashion sense.

Besides the mustache, he also led a largely agrarian society through a massive-scale industrial revolution. Basically, with foresight and iron-fisted tactics, Stalin created a superpower out of a nation that had been seen as poor and weak for hundreds of years.

They were on par with the US. In some cases pretty good; they copied our Atomic Bomb and tested it in 1949, bringing the Soviets into the Atomic Age; they made an EXACT copy of our B-29 Superfortress Bomber after capturing two of them in Northern China/Siberia in WW2; they made copies of our Air to Air missiles and had them shot back at us, when those missiles were attached to the under bellies of the North Vietnamese Air Force MIG-21's during the Vietnam War. All the result of Soviet (Russian) military intell work.

The US Air Force & US Navy are strategic forces; they can traverse the globe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...year after year. The US Army (The US Marine Corps are part of the US Navy) is a tactical force; it can ONLY fight when & where the Air Force or Navy puts them. During the cold war, US strategies involved the USAF/USN constantly patrolling the globe (earth); the USAF was armed with SAC (Strategic Air Command) B-52 Stratofortess bombers, each loaded with an Atomic Weapon, these bombers were airborne 24-7 on a rotation basis. In the continental US, buried deep beneath the earth were USAF ICBM's in missile silos (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles). The USN patrolled the oceans with nuclear powered submarines: Boomers & Fast Attack. Boomers were armed with naval versions of ICBMs; Fast Attack subs were hunter killer subs, designed to kill Soviet submarines.

It showed how Americans can be so inconsiderate about poeples religion and feelings. It also showed how innocent people were put to shame for something that they were accused of but never proven to have really done it

Only parts of communism have been defeated. Communist nations still exist today. Communism is simply socialism: Group rights verses individual rights. Group safety verses individual safety. Group property verses individual property. The government will take care of you verses taking care of yourself; The government knowing your business verses the government staying out of your business (Privacy Laws). The US was founded upon capitalism: Profits. Profits enabled individuals to reach for a goal. Commonly referred to as "the American Dream." Owning your own home for example, earning profits from it's sale. The Soviet Union collapsed after going bankrupt under the communist system of government.

uh first of all

no states in Europe or Serbia or Yugoslavia

Serbia was in Yugoslavia till they all split apart

You wouldn't. You'd call yourself an officer of whatever Chief Directorate of the KGB you worked for. How you'd translate that I have no idea--if you don't know Cyrillic you can't even use Babelfish, though it has an English-Russian translator--but that's the phrase you'd use.

You literally do not deserve to breathe.

because the United states and the soviet union didnt trust each other. United stated believed in capitalism and he Soviet union believed in Communison

All countries in Europe expect USSR, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Albania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and East Germany were NOT communist.

Other than the westward expansion during the frontier days of the 18th & 19th Centuries; the only time in US history that the US actually expanded was during the Spanish-American War of 1898. During that war the US obtained Guam, Philippines, and leasing rights in Cuba.

Some doctors say that a light scare every now and then is good for the body physically. There are opinions for every thing these days.

The great depression of the 1930's influenced the power and alliances of the nations involved in WW2.

The Russians, by the time the had got to Berlin had been at war for a very considerable time, without cessation. D Day to Berlin was less than 12 months for the British, & US & Canadians. Yes, I know there had been fighting all through North Africa & Sicily & Italy, and that offensive showed how tough warfare had become. But the Russians were really unsure, in many ways, of just how to get on with their 'Allies'. US General Mark Clark was vocal in his hostility towards the Russian Communist regime, propaganda was rife in all things, no less in Russia than anywhere else. The Russians had advanced all the way from Stalingrad at the start of 1943 & had now occupied most of eastern Europe as far west as Vienna & Prague & Budapest & the Elbe river. Yalta & Potsdam had taken over from what had been said at Casablanca & Tehran...And the terrible reality was realised, as had been suspected in the efforts to help the Poles in the Warsaw Uprising were denied by Soviet intransigence. Why ? No, I cannot say. The Soviets were quite happy to accept the Murmansk convoys of ships full of tanks & aircraft & bullets & so on. When it came to giving the people of eastern Europe their freedom from Nazi tyrrany they replaced it with more of the same: Soviet tyrrany. Explanation ? No, not from me.

There was no clear victor of the Cold War between Soviet Russia and the United States. This is mainly because both sides suffered defeats and gained victories. While Soviet Russia was the first to launch a human, Yuri Gagarin, into space, many of the Soviet scientists had taken ideas from U.S. scientists. In addition to this, the Soviet Union had to endure defeat as the Berlin Wall was demolished. So, an answer to your question: there was no winner or loser.

Latin America was the strategic backyard of the US during the Cold War. The Cold War started after World War II and lasted until 1991.

The communists wanted to expand. The US wanted to contain them.

US Airmen flew the missions to drop supplies over the Berlin Wall.

3 Reaons:

Inefficient economy

Ineffective government

External reasons

With Perestroika,the economy of soviet union will improve as it's aim was to recontruct the industries of USSA.

Glasnost allow the freedom of speech.By allowing this reform,the people will be able to communicate with the government to built a better USSR.The government will also be able to hear the ''voices of the people'' and seek to improve.

Perestroika was also to reduce military spending since USSA was geared towards arms during the WW2 and this policy seek to reduce this spending.

There were many battles of the Civil War that were undecided with no true victor. An example of an undecided Civil War battle were the battles that occurred in the New Mexican territories and Indian territories.

Reagan was a no-nonsense man. He chose the right men to do the job, if they couldn't or wouldn't do the job, he replaced them. When he had a problem, he spoke with the men he hired. He expected to speak with only one man. And not waste his time or words with others, unless needed. If that ONE man couldn't do what he was hired to do, then he was replaced with a man that could. When Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada) commenced in 1983, NO ONE except those that were supposed to know, knew what happened. The press was censured; and the military took care of the rest. Reagan wanted NO Vietnam negative press. So the operation was conducted in a clean, quick, efficient manner. Reagan represented NO double speak (NO double talk), do the job you were hired to do. As the Federal Air Controllers found out, when they were all FIRED (thousands of them!). Reagon was NOT Politically Correct; a horse was a horse, and a car was a car.

During the cold war, and possibly even today, there were TWO CHINAS. Red China (On the Mainland) and Nationalist China (Taiwan). The titles of these countries keep changing, so it is difficult to know whom is whom.

Napoleon was long dead by the beginning of the cold war.
