Cold War

Curtain rails can be installed quickly and very easily. A person would first install the curtain rails fasteners, which are what the rails will be held onto the wall with. Once they are screwed into the wall, the curtain rail is places inside them at both ends.

Cold feet can be warmed by putting on layers of cotton socks or investing in a pair of woolen socks for added warmth and comfort. A hot foot soak, bath or shower can aid in warming cold feet as well. If going out of doors in cold weather a pair of insulated boots will help keep one's toes toasty warm.

The main opponents of the Cold War were the United States and the Soviet Union. These countries never actually fought in the battle sense, so the war did not become "hot" between them.

Alexander Dubcek was the Czechoslovak president who attempted to liberalize his country's government, which was called the Prague Spring. The Soviets thanked him for his valiant effort by seizing his country with five Army divisions.

The same kind they have now: an oppressive communist dictatorship in the North, an oppressive capitalist dictatorship in the South.

Laugh not, but in 1984 the richest person in all Korea was the woman who owned the company that made tear gas.

Nukes, ICBM's contained both. In that case, cold was much better than hot.

In short to make sure that our enemys dont get them by pointing ours at them.

A cold war or cold warfare is a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued primarily through economic and political actions, propaganda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates. The surrogates are typically states that are "satellites" of the conflicting nations, i.e., nations allied to them or under their political influence. Opponents in a cold war will often provide economic or military aid, such as weapons, tactical support or military advisors, to lesser nations involved in conflicts with the opposing country.

There were numerous non-atomic wars during the Cold War, such as Vietnam, but the one that got everyone's attention was the threat of atomic warfare.

The Marshall Plan allowed European countries to rebuild quickly, economies recovered due to American financial aid.

Yes from the end of WWII until 1991, America was involved n the Cold War with communist countries like the Soviet union and Red China.

Stalin did not blockade Berlin; he was already deceased at that time, and the blockade was created by Nikita Kruschev. President Kennedy's response was to airlift supplies into West Berlin, thus defeating the blockade of the roads. At the time, Kennedy famously said "Ich bin ein Berliner" meaning, I am a Berliner.

Everybody chose sides, during the Cold War. Egypt and Syria were Soviet allies, while Turkey, Israel, and Iran were US allies (this was, of course, before the revolution in which Iran became an anti-American theocracy). When Russia invaded Afghanistan, the US aided the mujaheddin.

The split happened at the end of WW2. When Berlin fell the first to arrive were the Soviet troops and then the Allied troops came into the city. The major parties decided to divide the city into four sections. There was the Eastern section overseen by Russia and then the 3 sections controlled by the Allies. This soon divided the city. When a border was created at the Eastern and Western section it further divided Germany. Finally, the Berlin Wall was built by Russia that further made the border between West Germany and East Germany solid. It came to represent the differences in governments, communism, and democracy and it stayed that way for 60 years with armies facing each other until 1989 when the wall came down.

One effect is that the space race happened. The ending of this was victory for America. Another one is that America has a boost of nukes and atomic bombs. The last one is that many countries in the eastern area if Europe became weaker.

It didn't. The First Tet Offensive demoralized the US and played a large part in our decision to pull out of Vietnam.

The weird thing about Tet is, the North Vietnamese actually lost on the battlefield.

The U.S. believed in the philosophy that the world should avoid another all out war, but also believed that communism and similar government ideals should not be allowed to spread to the many newly deimperialized (for lack of a better word) countries that gained independence from European powers as a result of WWII or the economically damaged countries in Europe from being absorbed into the growing U.S.S.R. The U.S. effectively tried to buy off or bully (maybe a little harsh, but true) anyone who was considering communism or socialism (look at us now), or might give way to anarchy. The Marshall plan was meant to help Europe recover economically and restore its capitalist economy while military involvement throughout Asia (most of which did not succeed - Vietnam/Korea - and caused us to be unable to react to the growing communist party in China) and the Truman Doctrine won the friendship of newly not colony states in Latin America (but really economically made them just as dependent on us as most of them were on the British). This was, in hindsight, an enormous risk on America's side as our economy wasn't very strong at that point either, but it mostly paid off in the end (N. Korea, Cuba, China, and China)

During the Cold War, the US was opposed to the USSR, and they were an officially atheist nation, therefore the US wished to emphasize that it was a religious nation and therefore the opposite of the USSR. The main conflict was between economic systems, capitalism vs. communism, and between political systems, democracy vs. dictatorship, but there was a religious element as well.

JFK's Cold War foreign policy was called containment. The US did not attempt to overthrow existing communist governments but it did not want to allow any non-communist nations to be taken over by communism. The spread of communism was to be contained.

Figure it out on your own!

A Buffer State is a country that is neutral but sits between two countries with conflict. During the Cold War The US and the Union of Soviet were in turmoil but the Soviets would have to cross into Canadian air space to get to the US. Therefore making Canada the Buffer.

Because they believed the Soviets were going to launch bombers and missiles and destroy the United States.

About 45 years

enormous accumulation of plutonium metal on both sides!

The soviets and americans were already at war so when the soviets went to space first america tried to beat them there.
