Cold War

At the close of World War 2, Yugoslavia had managed to liberate itself from the Axis powers with only limited direct support from the Soviets. This meant that at the end of the war the Soviet Union did not have a military foothold in Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Communists were not 'indebted' to the Soviet Union for helping to liberate their country.

McCarthy was able to capitalize on US fears about communism and claiming they were in the government.

December 1944 the second world war finished

first answer:

When Germany invaded Hungary in 1944, Hungary had to be absorbed into the "axis countries". Hungary was then coerced to focus its economic capability and industrial assets to strengthening the Nazi.

second answer:

Germany invaded Hungary after Hungary tried to switch sides. Hungary was allied to Hitler (part of the axis) starting in 1941. Hungary's first step as a part of the Axis was during the German, Italian & Hungarian invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. Later, starting in 1941 the Hungarians joined Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. Then in 1944 as the Soviets pushed Axis forces back westward towards Hungary, Romania & Bulgaria, these three nations tried to switch sides to appease Stalin, which angered Hitler. Bottom Line: Hungary was an Axis partner of Hitler throughout most of the war and had been assisting Hitler economically and sending Jews to German run death camps. The German invasion of Hungary in 1944 was not a major factor in the outcome of the war or a real factor in Hungary's post-war experiences.

The Korean war started in 1910 and ended when World War II ended. It was a war between North and South Korea.

For the most part, cold-but there were occasional periods of thawing when arms treaties were negotiated. At times, hot spots flared up, as in Korea and Vietnam, but they were contained so that they did not spread into a global conflagration. Finally, the Berlin Wall fell and the Cold War melted away.

Salomon (April 7, 1740 - January 6, 1785) was a Jew, born in Poland. He was a broker who worked with Robert Livingstone. the superintendent for finance for the 13 colonies. His most important contribution was to raise $20,000 from selling bills of exchange for Washington just prior to the Battle of Yorktown when Washington's army was destitute and troops were threatening to mutiny.

In all he raised over $650,000 for Washington from selling bills of exchange a personal loans.

The fall of communism took place around 1989-1991 with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and it's satellite allies. This was a great and celebrated liberation, after decades of austere and difficult life behind the Iron Curtain for millions.

Now, apparently, there is a limitless number of uneducated and/or gullible idiots in the United States who want to bring it back! They may not directly come right out and say it, but it's happening at an alarming and breakneck pace. For all of it's flaws, having a free market economy is vastly superior, offering up a much more abundant lifestyle for those who work in and benefit from it. Most of the world does not live as well as we do in the United States and Europe, and some other free democracies. DO NOT take it for granted. We could just as easily lose it.

The Cold War is the name of the many conflicts and international disputes that took place in the latter half of the 20th century. The Cold War includes the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, the Six Day War, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iranian Embassy Siege, the Korean War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cold War was mainly between the United States and the Soviet Union, who both had large stocks of nuclear weapons. The Cold War dissolved around 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Show down the Soviet Union??? Or shot down IN the Soviet Union? Are you asking about Gary Francis Powers?

During the 1960's Red China and the Soviets, which border each other, were having some disputes. They actually had some border clashes in the 60's...we in the U.S. thought at one time that they might even go at it with nukes. Also people got mad that Mao wanted to create a modern communist society, by agriculturalization and industrialization.

us-it cost us like $67 billion and from what i read 33-54 thousand American live

The Berlin Airlift in 1947 that lasted over a year. The Soviets blockaded Berlin from all approaches leading into the city in order to force out the Western Allies: U.S., Great Britain and France. It didn't work. Thousand upon thousands of airlifts, mainly coming from American transport planes, provided food and materials to the Berliners.

Mentally or physically inferior or a college student.

After 1991, the USSR ceased to exist. The 15 countries that made up the USSR (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Turkemistan and Kyrgystan) declared independence.

About 1/2 of the population of the USSR lived in Russia, so often when people talk about the "History of Russia", they follow the fate of Russia after the union dissolved. So the person you're interested in is Boris Yeltsin, who became the President of the newly-independent Russia.

Mikhail Gorbachev was a key player in the eventual deconstruction of communism.

The Soviet Union exploded their first atomic bomb for multiple reasons. Firstly, they wished to test their nuclear capabilities, and further refine their nuclear weapons. Secondly, they wished to say to the world, 'We have nuclear weapons!' This would allow them to have an extra bargaining chip in world discussions, and weakened the bargaining power of the US' nuclear weapons.

He build the Berlin wall in1961

People immigrated or defected to the US; that's why they built the Berlin Wall to stop people from leaving their side of the line.

this is a complex question. i supported the vietnamese with the possibility of losing my life. we defeated the north vietnamese army in 1968 and could have walked into hanoi and accepted the keys. they don't tell you this in political terms. the us army never gets beat. the politicians get beat. or. the politicians tie the armys hands so they cannot be effective. so i say to anyone who can read these words never blame the army. the army will win.

In the Vietnam war:

* China rand Russia (and their allies) supported the North Vietnamese * The United States of America succeeded the French in supporting the South Vietnamese

The French and Indian War came to an end on February 10, 1763. The signing of the Treaty of Paris. The French officially ceded all of its holdings in North America, west of the Mississippi and regained the Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The cost of the war and the control of the newly acquired territories was more than the royal coffers could bear. The British looked to the colonies to pay those costs. That was the beginning of the long spiral of events that led to the American Revolution.

The French and Indian war had various outcomes:

-The British became the dominant power in America.

-The French lost all of its American possessions.

-The British national debt rose dramatically.

-Colonists wanted to expand westward now that the French were gone.

-The Colonists were wary of an increase in British troops in the colonies after the war.

In the past controlling the lands was key to victory. Then controlling the seas was key to victory. Then controlling the sky was the key to victory. After the ATOMIC AGE came in 1945...controlling outer space became the new key for obtaining victory.

Both were large countries with large populations, and military structures in excess of what was needed for peacetime. Both had nuclear arsenals capable of destroying the world several times over. Great Britain, France, and the People's Republic of China also had nuclear weapons, but nothing to compare with the US and Soviet Union. China had the largest populaion of all, but lacked the ability to strike anywhere in the world.
