Cold War

On August 29, 1949, the USSR tested its first atomic bomb. Prior to this, the United States had possessed the only means to atomic energy in the world. This sparked the first nuclear arms race.

No

cold war is a war of difference ideas. It started when communist party was formed in Russia and named USSR. Then many asian countries start following communist type of government.USA was following its own type of government so it becomes a compitition between USA and USSR to expand their type of government.

HUAC was the House Un-American Activities Committee.

His cousin, the Kaiser of Germany, helped convince Nicholas that he should go to war with Japan, and that Russia could easily defeat them. The Kaiser had other motives for goading his cousin "Nicky" into war with Japan; if Japan defeated Russia, this would eliminate Russia as a competitor in the Naval Arms Race going on in Europe in 1903. The Kaiser's main adversary was Britain, and Germany was intent on building a battleship fleet that could challenge the Royal Navy...which he would eventually accomplish during WW1. What Germany didn't need was competition from Russia...and war with Japan would solve that problem. Secondly, Russia was expanding east, just as the United States had expanded westward in the 1800's. Russia had constructed a railroad crossing the Eurasian continent; again, just as the US had done with the North American continental railroad in the 1860's. Third, Russia was urgently in need of a "ice-free" seaport, and the pacific coast line offered Port Arthur, near present day Korea; which was the scene of bitter battles during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Nova Net Final Test Answer: To keep his people from rebelling against his government.
Japan was starting to colonize around itself (it takes Korea, parts of China, ect) and It tried to take an island that belonged to Russia. So, Nicholas went to war with Japan, and lost terribly and half of the island was taken over by Japan.

U may tink dis is stupid but it's tru dinosaurs died and humans came about so our race needs to be wiped out for an even more intelligent race to be born

It is VERY common for the highest leadership to NOT know what's going on at the very bottom level of operations. This is true everywhere, even in civilian industry. This is why, very often, VIP's (Very Important Person) would fly into a post-battlefield to get an assessment, a US high ranking officer would go up to meet the VIP and the VIP (usually an experienced one) would by pass the officer and go to one of the common grunts to speak with him. The VIP would know, that the common GI would NOT "sugar coat" any information. In today's jargon, the GI would not be "politically correct" when he spoke with the VIP. Although the term was not generally used back then, as it is today, politically acceptable (politically correct) reports were generated from high command to the top. This is when TET happened, and everything fell apart from there. Had the US Military studied the enemy as much as they had studied the USSR's military in the 1960's they would've seen the enemy's plan & could have reacted accordingly. The facts of the enemy's plan are outlined beginning on page 10, titled, "The Enemy in Vietnam", Mounted Combat In Vietnam; Vietnam Studies, Department of Army, published in 1978; by General Donn A. Starry.

One cause is the end of World War I! (Hitler wanted more war?) ];-o

We live life to its fullest. I don't advocate for war, however I do support the troops involved in undeclared wars. I have children that are very educated and do well in their lives. I do have memories of many things in Vietnam that are not pleasant, I just remember that is the past and continue on in my life with the memories, however unpleasant they may be, reminding myself that today is a new day and the past is past. I cannot change the past, only live for the future.

the roman army defended there selves by using there sheilds to form a tortise. this is when the roman army put there sheilds together and defend there selves.

The Cold War was not about "gaining power". It was about maintaining the power the USSR and the US already had and to keep the communists from spreading any more of the communism.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused of spying for the Soviets and specifically for passing atomic secrets to the USSR during the Cold War. They were tried and convicted in 1951 for conspiracy to commit espionage, and unlike others convicted of similar crimes, they were given the death penalty. They were executed by electrocution on June 19, 1953.

The Rosenbergs were the only two US civilians executed for espionage during the Cold War (1945 to 1991).

None, it was just another episode of the Hippie/Vietnam generation. Same with the Manson killings (1969), or the "Zodiac" drama, had no bearing on the cold war...just another episode.

B) introducing a free market economy

I try to answer every question i can if everyone does the same then we can all pass

E2020!!

It actually started in the Soviet Union

Atomic weapons created the cold war. Not any conferences.

It was basically a policy to prevent communism from spreading. For example, when communist Koreans tried to take over the government, the Nationalist Koreans fought back with the aid of US troops. This was the Korean War. When communism tried to take hold in Vietnam, Vietnamese nationalists fought back with the aid of US troops. This was the Vietnam War. So basically it was a policy that pretty much sent military aid to any country fighting off communism in an attempt to stop it from taking over any more countries.

No, stalemate is a chess term, meaning an end with no winner. As long as the Cold War lasted and both sides were still able to one-up each other, it was not a stalemate.

The threat of massive retaliation deters attack.

Brinksmanship was the attempt to obtain as much political advantage as possible without going too far and starting a nuclear war that would kill everybody. The term refers to the strategy of going to the brink of war without quite starting a war. This was thought to be necessary because the US and the USSR were involved in a desperate struggle for global domination, and used every means at their disposal short of nuclear war. If either nation was too timid, or too frightened of war, they would wind up giving in to their opponent and losing the struggle. It was a crazy situation.

Red China, North Korea, Cuba, and of course North Vietnam & for the other side, France, UK, Canada, etc.

Cold war is a war between the US and the soviet union. I was a war of struggle of words and ideas.

The laws were effective in accomplishing their objectives because it kept communism out of the United States. The four pieces of legislation were: Espionage Act, Sedition Act, Alien Registration Act, and the Internal Security Act.

The Warsaw pact was a mutal agreement between communist countries. After WW2, all countries under the control of the Soviet Union sighned this pact. The pact was disbanded after Soviet Union fell in the 90's
