What would happen if the Cold War had never happened?
Something else.
It's kind of pointless to ask "what would happen if" in cases like this. You can make up just about anything you like, and who can say if it's correct or not?
At the very least, it would depend on WHY the Cold War never happened. If the Cold War never happened because the Russian imperial family successfully suppressed the Bolshevik Revolution, history would have taken one path; if it never happened because the Axis powers won World War II, it would almost certainly have taken a very different one.

What were the origins and implications of the containment policy?
Short answer: President harry truman hated communism far more than roosevelt. His idea of containment was to stop communism spreading further. The implications were that it could cause a nuclear full scale war, as both superpowers had weapons strong enough to nuke each other several times over. Containment failed to win over the hearts of the american public when the americans couldnt handle vietnam. They called an action not a war. It caused outcry and devestation in both america and vietnam. Protests all over the street and many were killed. A popular one was : Hey hey LBJ, how many kids have you killed today? The war has many horrifying images such as the My Lai massacre. There were other wars too. Childrens bodies burned by napalm and forest destroyed by agent orange.

This was the most famous connecting point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold war division of Germany into East Germany and West Germany, and Berlin into East Berlin and West Berlin. It was an opening in the Berlin Wall through which strictly limited travel was allowed. The USSR-dominated East German government prevented East Germans from crossing the Wall to the West, sometimes by shooting those who tried.

Checkpoint Charlie was in the Friedrichstadt section of the city, and was the only crossing point authorized for Allied military forces.
