Soviet Union (USSR)

They threatoned each other, made each other look foolish, basicly using words as weapons. Both sides were afraid of fighting directly, so they aproched this "war" by taking an indirect direction.

East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslowakia and Roumenia. Albania and Yugoslavia also had Communist governments, but these considered themselves independent from Russian influence.

They were trying to make an alliance with the Soviet Union instead of making them an enemy. It makes sense on America's part, why make a country with more nuclear devices than people as an enemy.

Second Answer: The Germans were planning to attack Russia. Stalin requested planes because the USSR did not have enough of their own. The US and Britain sent them over under the US Lend Lease act. It was not because of a motivation to have them be an ally. The US was not officially in the war yet when the US let their planes go to the USSR.

{| |- | No they certainly did not. There was a great deal of suspicion and hostility between the two groups. The US and the Soviet Union were the leaders of the two factions during the Cold War. |}

The Soviets supported North Korea while The U.S. supported South Korea.

Operation Barbarossa began on 22 June 1941.

to purge the country of Stalin's Memory (:

"It was belief in master race" In my oppion the time wasted to kill the jews wasnt nessary in the sense that they could gain the tittle master race its very stupid and retared to think that.

Because war was forced upon them by Hitler - APEX

It opened a second front and had Germany fighting in both the East and West and when the British and Americans landed in Normandy on D-Day it caused the German Army to split their resources.

In Khrushchev's time discussion of fundamental issues like the merits of Marxism-Leninism and single-party rule-was off-limits.

Millions of Soviet peasants starved to death when collective agriculture failed.

I'll do my best : Gorbachev comes across, in retrospect, as a realist. He did what he did, as he saw it for the benefit of Russia. I don't think he gave up the Soviet control of eastern Europe for the benefit of thre peoples therein, I think he did this because he saw that that was in the interests of Russia. Maintaining forces in the occupied states was a luxury Russia could no longer afford. If Russia was to free its post war image of the USSR as a totalitarian state then something had to give. No, I don't see him as subversive, it is difficult to separate what he did from the subsequent Yeltsyn regime, but it was Gorbachev who broke the mould. If you look now at the state that Putin has dominated over recent years it is obviously different from what Gorbachev inherited. As I say relinquishing powers the Soviets had in eastern Europe was a good thing from the point of view of the Poles, Czechs, Germans & so on, but I am sure it was not done for their benefit, it was done, as Gorbachev saw it, for the benefit of Russia. Therefore Patriot it is from me.

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.

{| |- | It provided a large incentive to do well. Being beaten into space was a blow that rallied the American People. When John F. Kennedy stated that we would put a man on the moon before the end of the decade, it was a big goal. |}

The opportunity cost were the consumer goods and services.

Communism. This is a great ideology type government where every people are equal. However, the government had a dictator called Joseph Stalin. He made millions die from famine, exhaustion from work because USSR was lacking behind for about 50 to 100 years from US, Germany and make himself look more superior (God) than the rest.

Communism was never that great either before or after Stalin. Communism is a slave labor system. That is why they need a wall to keep people in a communist country like East Germany for instance. They don't have the Bill of Rights in communist countries. They don't have freedom.

***Communism is not a type of government, it is an economic system. Stalin operated under a totalitarianism dictatorship, meaning that he had complete control over every aspect of the citizens lives. ***

Soviet: South

The terrible winter weather

Hitler killed so many Jews that he had to dig trenches and line everyone up next to them. Then he shot down the line and they fell in the ditch. Then tractors buried all the people. Some were burned. But most were buried everywhere.
