Cold War

United States president John F. Kennedy described the cold war as "a hard and bitter". He made this statement during his Inaugural address.

so what were the major battles of the cold war and why

Korea became a non-communist country after world war 2. adolf Hitler died .

The US entered WW2 resulting in a WORLD WAR when it was attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941.

It was important because this action accelerated a rapid deterioration in Cuban-American relations. for more information you can go to this site .. this is where i got this hint .. in this site you will know everything !!

Krushchev.

The General Assembly and the Security Council.

It was about economic and military power, as both USA and USSR were capitalist (private vs state capitalism).

Harry Truman

ALL Cold War procedures have either been eliminated or modified to meet the standards of the 21st Century.

A limited war used in the context of the cold war meant LIMITED to conventional weapons only. To do otherwise meant total war, verses limited war. Total war would include the use of nuclear weapons. Such as WW2 (the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) were the first and only limited wars fought during the cold war. Cold War meaning between the communists and free world.

A nuclear armed stand-off between the Soviet Union/Red China and the United States/Great Britain in which each side was waiting for an excuse to push the button (Which would launch nuclear missiles).

In the 1990s, a group of lawyers from Canada and USA tried to find an answer to this question. After a few years of research, they came to the conclusion that approximately 7 to 10 million Ukrainians were killed in the Holodomor. Edited; 7-10 million? it was over 20 million, more than the Holocaust, and also Stalin tried to cover up for what he did e.g. burning and burying the bodies so they wouldn't be found. Those "lawyers" did some lazy work. Also dont take any information of random sites, they're never accurate find some books, actual books, from that time period, not some journalist report that doesn't know what he/she talking about. Some stories that I've heard growing up as a kid in Ukraine, gave me shivers. A true story about a mother and her baby that they were starving. The mother was so hungry that she was actually considering to eat her own child, her breasts did not produce milk because she hadn't eaten food for a long period of time, so she couldn't feed it. Seeing the baby starving to death she couldn't take it, so she killed the baby and herself, to put them both out of misery, and that was just one person and an infant, now imagine over 20 million people starving, and the kind of stories they had.

There may not be any stages at all. Cold War means=Military Stand-off. A military stand-off means two militarys that are not fighting each other...but are waiting for an excuse to commence battle with each other; just as soon as someone gives the word! The term Cold War never existed until the end of WW2. Which is just perfect, because the reason for the cold war never existed until WW2 either! The reason the cold war existed is because of Atomic Weapons.

The Cold war was started after the second world war finished and was basically America being paranoid about Communism spreading from Russia and West Germany in the South East Asia and then onto America.

Containment was what America was trying to do to Communism. Because they 'lost' China they wanted to contain it. Korea was split in the Cold War as part of containment and also Vietnam. The Korean and Vietnam wars were both against Communism.

The arms race was about nuclear weapons as straight after the second world war, America were the only country in the world with nuclear weapons and they didn't want the Russians getting them. They eventually did and this lead to events such as the Cuban Missiles crisis and also led to a drastic change in foreign policy from Eisenhower wanting to use nuclear weapons against communism to Kennedy having to avoid it because the Russia's would use them on America.

During the Cold War, America feared the Soviet Union. The Cold War began in the late1940s and political tensions intensified in the 1950s as Western powers like the United Stated saw the Eastern bloc of Russian and its allies as a Communist threat. It was also called the Red Scare.

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.

Vietnam is a communist country because the government controlls everything and they have a central economy. _____ North Vietnam was communist, South Vietnam was not and did not want to be. That, in a nutshell, was what the Vietnam War was about. When all of the western countries pulled out of Vietnam, the North overran the South and both countries were reunified as Vietnam under a communist government based in Hanoi.

there is no other name

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.
