Cold War

West Berlin, like West Germany, was divided into three zones, one each for the British, French and Americans. East Berlin and East Germany were controlled by the Soviets. Problems arose because Berlin was ninety miles deep into the Soviet Sector, which became East Germany.

The Cold War (a stalemate/non-shooting war).

Switzerland. Germany needed the financial structure in that country.....and probably the only reason it was saved from takeover

The US, Israel, and North Korea supported Iran during the Iran-Iraq War in 1980-1988, in the Persian Gulf.

When Soviet & US/Allied forces drove their invasions toward the enemies positions, such as the center of Berlin or near the 38th parallel in Korea or the 17th parallel in Vietnam, that's where the leadership of those particular combatants would draw the line.

The economy of the Soviet Union was falling behind that of other major industrialized nations.

september 11, 2001 terrorist hijack four U.S planes, two of the planes were crashed into the twin towers, one plan was crashed into the pentagon and the other was crashed in a death valley.

Had he not been forced to abdicate, his only son Alexei would have become czar eventually. However, Alexei was a hemophilliac, meaning his blood had a hard time clotting. A single pinprick could cause him to bleed out. Had he died before his father and Nicholas had not had another son, the czar eldest daughter Olga would become the Czarina.

Europe was in war, and the United States was neutral. The US helped both sides by supplying goods, and the US got rich from it, thus, enhancing shipping prosperity.

Nations: North Vietnam & VC (South Viet communists) vs US, Australia, NZ, PI, ROK, Thailand, and RVN.

Branches: USA & USMC fought the NVA/VC

USAF & USN (air units) fought the NVAF & NV Navy (P4 torpedo boats in the Tonkin Gulf in 1964).

USMC jets didn't fight the NVAF over North Vietnam; they provided air strikes for their men on the ground in RVN.

The only thing that Cuba offered that Americans really wanted was their cigars. Those became illegal to have in the US.

Not at all, it was not the result of a trivial personalty clash. Stalin was an evil, brutal and dangerous dictator bent on violent aggression towards the free world (a brutal sppression of his own people). Stalin will forever be remembered as one of the world's most evil leaders (right up there with Hitler). Also the Cold War continued after Stalin died in 1953, and Truman left office in 1953. This is because the Soviets continued most of Stalin's international & military policies after his death. US President Reagan was correct when he called the Soviet Union an "evil empire".

East and West Germany; North and South Korea; North and South Vietnam.

It was in the middle of the Cold War. This is describing the "race" between Russia (USSR) and the United States and both of their atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Arms Race = A race between to nations to produce the most weapons and the most powerful weapons. Ex) The cold war.. the USSR and the USA. And im guessing the US goal was to get more weapons than the USSR?

Critics of the Bay of Pigs invasion claimed it was a violation of the?

It would have indicated or promoted a collapse of the Soviet Union.

The pro-Capitalist policies of Boris Yeltsin found a reluctant agreement with many in Russia, but the courtship between Yeltsin and the West, particularly America, was met with very strong opposition. Yeltsin fielded many corruption allegations, and many were true. The Soviet ideology, which taught people to resist exploitation was still strong; it was one of the reasons the Soviet republics dissolved from the Soviet Union!

Anyway, nevertheless, many Russians were displeased with the old Soviet controllers, but equally were displeased with a new man who simply suckled their old enemies; it would be the equivalent of George W. Bush talking the evils of Islamic fundamentalism, and a new prime minister [assuming a government change] literally cheering the progressive implementation of Sharia law. The Russians, common and elite would see this in just as threatening a light, which led to Yeltsin having a very troubled presidency and the target of a very well coordinated, but unsuccessful coup d'etat.

Because the communist style of economic socialism was unsustainable. It had no real incentives to reward the productive worker or the enterprising business builder. To the contrary, the Soviet styled economy rewared mediocrity and sloth. Unfortunately, the USA is going down the same dead end as did the USSR. The reason for this, is the real controllers of the nations (certainly not the presidents), but those in charge behind the scenes, like the broad economics of socialism because it allows them easier access to plunder the wealth of nations. The USSR was systematically hollowed-out, leaving only a shell of its former self. We see the same thing in America. Most all large manufacturing companies have fled, leaving the USA a pathetic service economy. Nothing is produced. Untold billions are skimmed in churning scams. America, sadly, is in the bloated Elvis stage, ready for a massive heartattack while sitting on the can. But we have football to distract us, thank God!

Two hot battles of the cold war. Which was also an opportunity for both sides (Free world and communist world) to test out their new weapons (jets for example).

Communism verses non-communists. But, communists and non-communists EXISTED before the cold war. The Atomic Age created the cold war. If no nuclear weapons existed, there would have been no cold war. There would probably have been a hot one. World War 3 if the the communists wished to start one. But without atomic weapons, it would have been a world war fought looking very much like the Korean War did; jets against jets, etc.

The 1st IndoChina War, also called the "French Indo-China War", or the "French Vietnam War."

He offered citizens more personal freedoms, resulting in widespread protests that weakened communist countries.

for Jefferson put

J-efferson had a positive view towards people and thought people would make the right choices if given the accurate information

E-conomic success was thought by jefferson to be in agricultural society, since he believed it would lead to nationwide prosperity

F-ederal government was thought by him to belong to the states and the decision makers were its people

F-armers that were independent and part of an agricultural society were envisioned by jefferson as a main and vital part of economy

E-come up with it yourself...don't know

R-republicans believed in strong rights for the states, and limited power to the federal government, Jefferson was a member of this party

*dont know S O N...sorry

Jefferson was in the Democratic Party which believed in strong right for states. Pretty good acrostic poem tho.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by a CIA-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from US government armed forces, to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro.
