During the Cold War, the United States focused on protecting countries such as South Korea, Vietnam, and various nations in Latin America, including Cuba and Nicaragua, from the spread of communism. The U.S. engaged in military intervention, political support, and economic aid to counter communist movements and influence in these regions. The overarching goal was to contain communism and prevent its expansion, which was seen as a direct threat to democratic governance and U.S. interests globally.
The most commonly mentioned allies are the United States and the United Kingdom. During World War II, Russia also became an ally in the right against Germany.
Segregation has occured in countries all over the world, most notably the United States where Martin Luther King fought against racial discrimination through a series of non-violent protests. Unfortuantely, segregation still exists today in many third world countries.
Most Americans preferred to stay neutral and not go to war against other countries. America could advance the cause of freedom and democracy by means other than by war.
The U.S. Cold War policy most influenced by the domino theory was the policy of containment, particularly in Southeast Asia. American leaders believed that if one country fell to communism, neighboring countries would follow suit, leading to widespread regional instability. This belief justified U.S. intervention in conflicts such as the Vietnam War, as leaders sought to prevent the spread of communism and maintain global influence. Ultimately, the domino theory shaped military and diplomatic strategies during the Cold War era.
During the Cold War, the country that most supported the U.S. was West Germany. As a key ally in Europe, West Germany played a crucial role in NATO and served as a frontline state against the spread of communism in Eastern Europe. The U.S. heavily invested in West Germany's military and economic recovery, viewing it as a vital partner in the struggle against Soviet influence. This alliance helped solidify West Germany's position as a central player in the Western bloc.
the Atlantic Pact is a pact between most of the Atlantic countries against communism
It was the Soviet Union
Propaganda against communism.
In most communist countries, a dictator. But there is such a thing as libertarian communism which is where the people rule and everything is voted by everyone.
communism
Most Eastern European countries became independent in the 1990s. They also switched from communism to democracy.
Many Americans did "hate" communism because they thought, or believed other who told them, that communism was unAmerican and that communists were only interested in destroying America. They felt threatened and hated the perceived threat. Despite the collapse of communism in most countries, many people retain those feelings. we don't hate them we are simply against the idea of communism, it threatens our power and also is bad for countries because it is dictatorship. you no longer are capable of making decisions on your own
There is nothing 'wrong' with Communism. The thing is that most Westerners get the misconception that Communism is bad. This is because during the Cold War in an effort to get support against the USSR and Communism the US used wildly incorrect propaganda which made most people think Communism=Tyranny, which isn't the case. Take it from me, I lived in the Soviet Union, visited Cuba and China, and I wasn't oppressed, nor did I ever see anyone around me be a victim of 'tyranny'. Its all propaganda. Basically this..... There have been tyrants in capitalism. South American countries and South Eastern Asian countries (who are still all LECDs), Africa and Middle East have non-democratic capitalism.
France is protecting itself. Along with many international relations with other countries. France is the 3rd country in the world to spend the most money on national defence.
No its the second most poverty creating thing next to an aligarchy
Some of the negative effects of communism are that there is typically a lack of supply for just about anything you could buy, the government has nearly unlimited control, and in most cases countries that embrace communism do not have strong economies.
After Soviet Communism became a threat most American politicians opposed Communism. However, Richard Nixon made a notably strong stand against Communism and so may be the man you are thinking of.
