Cold War

Italy was not a main player within the Cold War. The main events were the Italian branch of Operation Gladio (an anti-communist network established in all NATO member countries) and the Years of Lead (a period of socio-political turmoil from the 1960s to the 1980s).

The Warsaw Pact was established in 1955 to counter the threat from the NATO countries. It was made up of Central and Eastern European Countries. It dissolved at the end of the Cold War in 1991.

With one-upmanship; when the communists made a new jet fighter; the US countered with a better one. When the communists made a new submarine; the US countered with a better one. When the communists tried to expand in Central America, the US countered the move with containment. When the communists tried to expand in South America; the US countered the move with containment.

When the communists tried to expand in Korea, the US countered the move with containment.

When the communists tried to expand in South Vietnam, the US countered the move with containment.

You want to know why the DDR (East Germany) allowed its citizen to cross the border and travel the old-BRD (West Germany)? Well ... actually migration was illegal and the borders were under strict control. That was until the time of the "Mauerfall", the fall of the Berlin wall which was caused by various political and social movements. Actually Günther Schabowsk (SED) is the one who published (9.11.1989) the opening of the wall in the radio, starting a movement of DDR-citizen going for the wall. Due to the kindness of military (who actually had the old order to shoot anyone crossing the border) to not act the way military acts today a stream of border-crossing people started which wasnt stopped in the end.

The government itself did not directly "allow" everyone to travel, but as they heared that the border was open they interpreted the words and made them their right to travel to the west.

Why Schabowsky did call out that message, how it came to it? Well, I guess it was just the right time, which only few would dispute.

United States & Soviet Union (White Star & Red Star).

the united states and the Soviet Union held the balance of power

to purge the country of Stalin's Memory (:

This question needs clarification. Which attack? Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese? They reacted with sadness, anger, confusion and a desire to take revenge on Japan.

He presided over the bumpy transition of Russia from the fall of the USSR to the modern country it is today.

The Cold War began as World War II was ending. American leaders saw the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a threat to our national security. The Cold War was a war of words and ideologies rather than a shooting war, although at times the Cold War turned “hot” as in Korea and Vietnam. Basically, the Cold War was a rivalry between the United States as leader of the western democracies, and the Soviet Union and the nations that were controlled by the communists.

United States: North

Soviet: South

Prior to the Berlin Wall coming down and the reunification of the "two" Germanies, the German names for the two countries were;

West Germany - Bundesrepublik Deutschland (BRD)
East Germany - Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR)

the Cold War was the second world war in america.

Korean democracy stood up to communism. the result of this was a stalemate. (nobody wins_a tie) this happened around 150-53.

{| |- | Wars can be devastating to a country's development. Huge quantities of resources are poured into equipment for the war. Large numbers of people are killed and no longer available to work. And those that are fighting cannot provide labor for factories or farming. |}

This is truly a dumb question. The split German was created AFTER the war ended.

NATO made up the original alliance of;

Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.(France would later leave the alliance)

The Warsaw Pact contained the alliance of;

Albania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, East Germany, USSR(Russia)(East Germany and Albania would later leave the alliance.

IF war were to start with the cold war tensions, those countries would fight along side one another

The President of the U.S. during The Cold War was Truman.

Most historians would say that the cold war ended thanks to the cooperation of then-Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev with American President Ronald Reagan. Other people were also involved, but these two men were the main reason the animosity and mistrust between the Soviet Union and the United States ended.

The North won.

Canada provided a number of military units, ranging from infantry to artillery to armour, as well as fighter squadrons, and RCN ships on coastal patrols.

The Canadian Army units werea part of the Commonwealth Brigade, that was comprised of British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand troops.

The RCAF fighter pilots flew their own F86 jets, and some were "loaned " to USAF units to train them in close groundsupport to the Commonwealth Brigade, as they used a completely different method of "calling in the air support".

A small and dirty war, that is not much remembered now. Except by those who were there.

Due to Kennedy's cautious firmness with Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviets publicly dismantled their missiles positioned on Cuba. They returned the parts to the Soviet Union, in exchange for a public US declaration that the US would never invade Cuba.
