No, Communism died simply because it was an unstable system. Under Communism, everyone was poor and wouldn't work much. The Soviet Union also never had a good leader.
However, I did hear that under Communism, it didn't allow for a powerful military. Not sure whether it's true or not though...
Because the two superpowers had opposing ideologies - the Soviet Union believed in Communism and the worldwide conversion to this belief, the US believe in democracy/capitalism and the freedom of nations and their peoples. As communism spread the US believed it was their fundamental responsibility to prevent this. It spread to a global conflict as other nations chose to support either the US or Soviet Union.
Francisco Franco was cautious because he could not start the right-wing rebellion of 1936 in Spain. He would try to avoid any direct military or diplomatic promises to the war effort.
It cost less to run thana colony did, and did not require a large comitment of military support
Tsar Nicholas II did not actively want World War I to continue, but he felt a strong sense of duty to support Russia's allies and maintain the Eastern Front against Germany. Initially, he believed that the war could lead to a stronger Russia and bolster his regime. However, as the war dragged on and the toll on Russia increased, the Tsar's support for the conflict waned, especially as public discontent grew and military failures mounted. Ultimately, the war contributed to the decline of his reign and the fall of the Romanov dynasty.
because they was the best
The policy of containment, or stopping the spread of Communism, caused America to help South Korea because it was being invaded by North Korea, which was communist
The Eisenhower Doctrine, announced in 1957, was primarily focused on the Middle East and aimed to provide U.S. assistance to countries resisting communist aggression. It did not specifically promise to roll back communism in Eastern Europe, which was largely under Soviet control at the time. Instead, the doctrine emphasized containment and support for allies in the region to curb the spread of communism. Overall, it was more about stabilizing the Middle East than addressing Eastern European communism directly.
Yes. The United States attempted to stop the USSR from spreading communism by supplying armaments, financing, and military support to countries on the verge of falling into a communistic government. The Korean Police Action and Vietnamese Conflict were attempts at stopping communism from overtaking the countries of Korea and Vietnam. The United States aided Afghanistan in the ten year war against Russia, which was an effort in keeping communism out of the Middle East.
To contain the expansion of Communism, promote Democracy, To strengthen and aide anti-communist elements and Military objectives. They were to train, equip, and support anti-communist elements
because they were forced by their leader HAHAHAHAHA
The US would support Greece and Turkey with financial and military aid in order to protect them from falling to communism, due to the fact that their economies were failing and on the brink of collapse.
The Truman Doctrine promised support to any nation battling communism.
Nope, capitalism.
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.
A common political factor for US-aligned states in Europe during the Cold War was their shared commitment to containing the spread of communism. These states often formed alliances, such as NATO, to counter the influence of the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe. The US provided military and economic support to these countries as part of their efforts to uphold Western democratic values and oppose communism.
Increase support for communism.
