Cold War

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.

because there was never any actual fighting. Since there was no fighting, it was cold It was just both sides nervousness of the other.

I served in the military during the cold war, I saw many red alerts. There are still enough nuclear weapons left to destroy our planet six times over. It was the military that was the Vanguard that protected the people of this nation why they slept and got fat sitting around playing video games. If you feel fear you look to the military to protect you. Don't let them down now.

The United States and the Soviet Union (which no longer exists).

The Berlin Wall Online Website (see link below) lists 192 people as having been killed on the Berlin Wall.

It was always communist. That was the basic foundation for the whole system of government. it was Imperial Russia until the two revolutions in 1917. firstly in February when the middle classes in the Duma (the puppet parliament) overthrew the Tsar, Nicholas II. they set up a government known as the Provisional government but was unpopular as they wanted to continue in WW1 so the Bolsheviks (communists) overthrew the government and took control themselves. That is the beginnings of the Soviet Union.

the western powers decided to form a group called NATO (North Atlantic treaty organisation). They would help each other if the soviets attack one of them.

In many ways, the Soviet Union collapsed of it's own weight, having spent so much of it's budget on military buildup, for decades. Of course, getting mired in their war against Afghanistan, which received massive covert funding from the United States did not help the Soviets much either. It even resulted in a sort of generational distrust of the old Soviet guard by the younger military members. Just like Vietnam did to the United States, with our protests and our generation gap.

Afghanistan was a major drain on Soviet money, military personnel and equipment. It was their version of what happened to the United States in Vietnam. In this modern age of instant satellite media, it was also becoming harder to control everyone's news intake. American president Ronald Reagan dared the Soviet Union to tear down the Iron Curtain (by association, the Berlin Wall). By the end of the 1980's, the Soviet Union was going sour. Reformation efforts by acting leader Mikhail Gorbachev further pushed things over the edge for the old Soviet ways, which were being replaced by his "'Glasnost" movement.

The world was electrified when the Soviet Union flew the old Russian flag over the Kremlin, and the Berlin Wall came down.

Turkey (Asia Minor) being a border nation to the USSR had to be contested with various forms of persuasion (supplying them with US jets as one example); ultimately allowing US forces to deploy missiles in their country.

The main differences between West and East Germany was that West Germany was a Democratic Capitalist state while East Germany was a self declared 'socialist state' (though more commonly it is labeled Communist).

Vietnam affected FIVE U.S. presidents. President Eisenhower, who was familiar with Vietnam when the French were fighting there until 1954, warned President Kennedy to not let it fall to the communists (the domino theory). In 1961 (or 1962) Kennedy sent the Special Forces (Green Beret) to Vietnam. When President Kennedy was shot, Vice President Johnson took over. In 1965 Johnson sent REGULAR combat troops to Vietnam (US Marines and the US Army). Vietnam destroyed President Johnson; on nation wide TV he announced that he would NOT run for president of the United States AND that he would NOT accept nomination to run. His health was ruined, his outlook on life was no longer positive. In 1968, President Nixon promised he would end the war in Vietnam and he was elected on that ticket. By 1972 most of the US ground troops had been pulled out. Air power remained until (officially) 1973. The North made one final and massive assault in 1975, which collapsed the South, the North had one the war; but by then the "Watergate" scandle had taken President Nixon, and President Ford had to finish the war.

Because of the faith of the people, and because Christianity always flourishes best when it is oppressed. Another excellent example is Ireland, the faith there was stronger than anywhere else in the world, UNTIL it was legalized, then the populace rapidly lost their faith and became pagan.
