Soviet Union (USSR)

The Soviet Union supported the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) under Ho Chi Minh.

Operation Sea Lion (Unternehmen Seelöwe) was Germany's 1940 plan to invade the UK. Germany never had sufficient dominance over sea and air for it to really start.

The Axis powers, Italy, Nazi Germany, and Japan, but they were mostly fighting against the Nazi's.

1986, I don't recall the exact date but there are numerous entries in Wikipedia and elsewhere on this incident.

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.

It was "discouraged"

Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore but it was in Asia and Europe

Canada is in North America

China is in Asia

The United states are in North America

The constant building of expensive military hardware (Jets, Submarines, Tanks, etc.) and NEVER USING THEM can only lead to one thing...internal deterioration. Put politely, the Soviets went bankrupt.

Because Berlin is 110 miles inside East Germany at the time,and the USSR controlled the road and rail acess to get to Berlin. It was believed that it was impossible to supply all the food,coal,gasoline,etc.by air.

The Soviet Union lent Cuba nuclear missiles in order to protect the sovereignty of Cuba, a communist nation.

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.

USSR The USSR doesn't exist anymore. It stood for the United Soviet Socialist Republic AKA the Soviet Union before it was dissolved 26 December 1991. Most of what was once the USSR remains as the the Russian Federation (Russia) but there are many parts of what was once the USSR that are now independent countries including Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

The USSR stretched from the eastern borders of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Romania, north to the Arctic Ocean, east to the Pacific Ocean, and south to the northern borders of China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey. It included much of eastern Europe and northern Asia - being the only country besides Turkey to lie on two different continents.

The Soviet Union was a part of the Allies in World War 2. At a conference between the Big Three (Winston Churchill - Britain, Franklin Roosevelt - America, and Joseph Stalin - Soviet Union) in Febuary 1945, called the Yalta Conference, it was decided that Germany would be split into four main zones. France, Soviet Union, America, and Britain would each control a zone, and the capital, Berlin, in Soviet territory, would also be split into four. It is interesting to note that the Yalta Conference occured before the defeat of Germany.

There are two important things about the Soviet Union that affect us today:

First, the Soviet Union had a massive weapons program, one that rivaled that of the United States. However, when the Soviet Union dissolved, many of the weapons were left in politically unstable territories outside of Russia. Though the United States helped Russia to get back most of these weapons, not all of them were accounted for. For this reason, even though the US and Russia are friendly nations, if there is an attack on the West with a "dirty" nuclear device, the materials used in the weapon are likely to come from the former Soviet Union.

The second important thing about the Soviet Union was that it had become very seriously corrupt by the 1970s. Government bureaucrats had access to much better food, housing, schooling, and many other things than the average Soviet citizen. An extensive black market developed, but also, the practice of buying and selling government positions became normal. These phenomena contributed to the same things happening today in many formerly Soviet countries. Not only are government positions often still gotten by connections, but private assets very seriously influence the judicial system in Russia and other formerly Soviet countries.
