Cold War

East was ruled by communist russia while west was ruled by the allies (america, france and Britain), Berlin was in the eastern side but it was also split up like the whole of Germany was, into four sectors, each one ruled by the corresponding ally.

Western Europe had a much stronger economy. Eastern Europe fell into poverty and more Eastern European countries became police states.

There have been several. Joseph Stalin till he died in 1953. Followed by Nikita Krushchev till he was replaced by Leonid Brezhnev in 1964. He was the premier for the longest period of time till he died in 1979. There followed in quick succession Andropov and Cherikov-both were old men and died within 2 years of taking over the country. After that in 1985, the Politburo decided to elect someone that was young and that would stabilize the political situation. They chose Gorbachov and he served till there was a coup in 1991 and he was replaced by Boris Yeltsin. He was the last leader of the former Soviet Union.

The Cold War was the result of market forces.

These market forces include abstract concepts such as fear, and tangible concepts such as level of industry, comparative advantage, and technological capabilities.

If a government decides it wants to allocate more taxes than are necessary to defense spending, its morality and ethics may be called into question, but it is the responsibility of it's citizens to decide what tax revenue is used for what.

The citizenry is responsible for government actions, no matter what model of society they exist under.

the Soviet Union was Comunist and America wasn't

Communism as practiced in the USSR and Eastern Bloc was a highly dictatorial system in which people had no say in the decisions of their own governments, which many people found offensive. In addition, the communist economic system, in which the government owned everything and employed everybody, worked rather badly. It was supposed to be a "workers' paradise" because the entire emphasis of communism is upon the protection of workers from exploitation by employers, however, the resulting system made it impossible either to reward people for doing a good job or to penalize people for doing a bad job. Under the circumstances, selfish people found it easier to do a bad job, and most things wound up being done badly. In addition to those two problems, the USSR was put together from 16 different republics all of which had their own regional, ethnic, and religious aspirations that were not met by the USSR.

The first move was when Joseph Stalin (leader of Russia) ordered the blockage of the land route from Berlin to west Germany. (The Berlin wall.)

Containment was notably successful during the Cold War, particularly in the context of U.S. foreign policy aimed at preventing the spread of communism. A prime example is the Korean War (1950-1953), where U.S. and allied forces successfully stopped North Korea's invasion of South Korea, preserving the latter's sovereignty. Additionally, the policy was effective in Europe, where the establishment of NATO and the Marshall Plan helped stabilize Western European nations against communist influence. Ultimately, containment contributed to the eventual decline of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.

It's not so much that they didn't agree. It's more that they both were working to make nuclear weapons and they were both trying to become world powers through the use of nuclear weapons.

Me personally? I was a youngster at the height of the cold war. It was a perpetual bogeyman you hoped wouldn't come out of the closet. I remember two or three nights when I was a kid that my brothers and sisters and I went to bed at night, not totally sure we'd wake up again the next morning. The greatest joy of my life was that my kids did not have to grow up with that great a threat hanging over their heads.

the atomic bomb dropped in 1945.

during cold war.

how did it start the cold war?

1.It caused the arms race

2. Plus they threatened the Soviet Union.

3. They wanted to fight for super power (basically who ruled land air and sea inc outer space)

This all lead to the cold war.

Hope this helps.

Berlin, Germany

The Americans become even more determined to stop the spread of communism by touting "The Domino Theory" where when one nation falls to communism so too the next nation .

they did not care about individual civil rights

according to Colonel Leroy Fletcher Prouty Airforce Colonol Yes the cold war was a setup . It's origins were conceived at a meeting right before the end of WW2 . At the meeting were Rosevelt, Stalin, Chaig Kai Sheck and Churchill. They agreed that all future wars {conflicts] would be fought in third world countries and there should be no clear discernible objective to achieve victory. Obiously this would benefit greatly the military industrial complex in each of the countries See Jesse Ventura's commnts on Colonol Leroy Fletcher Prouty.

As a former Cold War warrior I can only speak to what I saw during the years I was in the army and my study of the human condition of Soviet era Russians. The main tensions would have been; influence on the world stage, quantitative military supremacy and a battle for Third World ideology. Now termed the developing world the US and the USSR were constantly fighting proxy wars in Cuba, Indochina, eastern Europe, Afghanistan and the open sea. This was perpetrated by an ever expanding military and technological advance by either country. There were X amount of tanks and X amount of intercontinental balistic missiles as deterrents to a shooting war between the countries. Each embarrassing incident was a game of chess from Francis Gary Powers, the Cuban Missile Crisis, failed nuclear disarmament talks to the collapse of the Soviet state. Each month, year and decades long score card were used by the various government agencies to exert power over non-super power countries. The symbols of early Soviet dominance in the space race, acquisition of Nuclear missiles, to military build ups and a utopian proletariat that foretold an equal standing finally fell under the weight of mismanagement, a decades long struggling economy and crumbling satellite state governments. The lifestyles of westerners and the burgeoning economies of Europe and the US finally outspent the Soviet Union. When you must build walls and man those walls to insure people don't leave it is only a matter of time before liberty prevails. What we didn't know then and what we do know now is, the quantitative military components of the Soviets were not nearly what we thought them to be. It is uncertain whether the tanks and missiles were maintained enough to even fight. It was a battle of cultures and vastly different philosophies of governance. Freedom won out at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands in deaths.

basically US nd the USSR were always in a race to see who had the most power, they both kept on creating bigger and bigger nuclear bombs until USSR made the T-zar Bomba..if US were to make a bigger bomb than the T-zar Bomba and if that bomb were ever to explode it would literally destroy the whole world.

After that USA decided to own the moon...they think they're winning the race now :P

I wouldn't say the US or even any side had a victory in the Cold War. It was a very tense time and we were all lucky to end it without use of nuclear weapons.

Limited Test Ban. God Bless! :)

soviet union ,united states,and western Germany

The Cold War resulted from lack of trust between the U.S and The Soviet Union.

The foreign policy of the United States is the policy for which the United States interacts with foreign nations and sets standards of interaction for its organizations, corporations and individual citizens. The U.S. is highly influential in the world.
